Marty checks the dates of James Buchanan Duke, 1856-1925, before we enter the chapel to hear a wonderful performance of Handel’s Messiah. Thanks to Jan, who’s been in the choir many years, for our great seats right up at the front.

The Virginia 10-Miler
Lynchburg, Virginia, Sept 30th, with Karen H & Lisa A before the race, and me afterwards trying to keep up the Waffle House breakfast tradition. At a 10:12.4 pace, this was my 26th and slowest Virginia Ten-Miler, but it still got me 3rd place in my age-group.

We had a few more days at the beach in early September with Jan, Marty, and Linda McD. No people pictures this time.

Chincoteague, Virginia
We had a few days at the beach in early August. We all rode bikes, we walked, some of us went running at sunrise, we sat on the beach, played in the sand, ate and drank. Wore plenty of sunblock and needed lots of insect repellant for the wildlife refuge. No sunburn or shipwrecks and nobody drowned. We also saw a big NASA rocket launched (see separate page). Various photographers. You can hover on the edge of a photo to a show description and pause the slideshow — then un-hover to resume the slideshow.
