Many of the post card were stamped with “Chance to Survive’ from the post office, you never could get the ZIP code right. BUT I did get each and every one… those were good times.. Sorry I wont be seeing you in Mobile, I Live in South Florida now. Wishing you & 10% the best. Have a Great New Year in 2010 .. try putting down a drink and picking up the phone . apparently you have children now.. and it would seem they need something from you… Again I wish you the very best,being a parent is the hardest thing in the world. But it is SOO worth it... Very Funny ‘Rod” Ok Dessie

For those that travelled with him in his posse, we knew him as a good friend and very funny person. As Miller stated above, he was a very good coach and recruiter. He did tend to drink a bit much and that hurt his running and the years have warn him a bit, but many of us were touched by his sober warmer side and friendship. He is missed, but it is good to catch-up with him after all these years. We usually just called him "Dessie" and in his serious racing days he travelled the world. Once we got into a cab leaving a Sydney hotel just after the Australian marathon championships and the cabby told us we had been in the cab just two night before. Dessie laughed and looked over and said quietly Rod had been in concert there two nights ago. Interestingly enough, we rode down on our flight with Johnny Cash's posse and his son tried to get "Rods" autograph on the way to their "Southern Cross Tour". Great experiences and fun when you are 18-22. Many race coordinators would play the media link in the PR using the "look-a-like" as a sales gimick. I look more at the people and how it changed their behaviors (when they thought they were engaging a celebrity). Sometimes drunk women would come up when we were on the road and threaten him out of the blue. It wasn't always a safe situation, but those that really knew him, know he was ok. I always enjoyed running with him and the other lads and just hanging out. Good guys all! If you're reading this Dessie....hello (from 10% -- ET says hello too, Tommy and Jock). If you've been in contact with Leonard let us all know. Keep the flag flying!

However every picture tells a story and I am in the one above. I never was involved with UCLA, Dublin, or prompting races??? I did play professional soccer across the pond many moons ago. See you at the concerts in Mobile !!! Rod P.S. All you HALF-WITS need a professional eye examination. Thanks for your comments Robin (above #40 dated 3-27-2009/143pm).
