“….Henry has been racing since 1979 and has run more than 580 races. He began attending SCR meetings to learn about running and ended up running the club. He was President for 2 terms, and in those years the newsletter went from a single sheet to 16 pages published at no cost; the SCR joined the RRCA; the membership grew from 70 to 400+; scoring boards were perfected, and results started being sent to and printed in the newspaper. Henry’s score boards are well known to most local runners. When it seems to take forever to get the awards, lots of runners will ask “why aren’t they using Henry’s boards? We could have eaten breakfast by now.” 

Henry did not have an allegiance to the club, his allegiance was to the runners and the sport and used the club as a means to contribute to the cause. Once he had a phone call hours before an early evening race telling him that the race was not going to have a water station or traffic control Henry showed up with the race equipment but wouldn’t unload it until he got a promise that those items would be correct. He used to get in arguments about the cost of races and flag those in the newsletter which he thought were too high ”
