Ocean State Senior Olympics
Bryant University - Smithfield, RI
June 11, 2006


The day started out cold and breezy but by opening
ceremonies the sun was warming up the track





Let the Games begin!


Bob wanted to see how far he could shoot his big
rubber band. Strange warm-up technique.

I also want to thank Bob for the tasteful presentation of my
missing Connecticut Senior Games silver medal -
in the men's room while I'm busy at the urinal!
Thanks Bobby!!?

Here they come - a nearly all-MVTC 200m heat
(L-R) Roger Pierce, Neil Steinberg, Bob Segal, Charlie Kelley,
John Brooks, Rob Porcaro, Carroll Blake

By the way, doesn't Neil look good in a red speedsuit?


There they go! Funny how Neil's suit has turned blue (in lane 6).


(L-R) Warren Graff, Carroll (Butch) Blake, Rob Porcaro, 'Prime Time' Pierce


MVTC Wish List #1 - Sprinter and sometimes miler, Mary Harada


Someone else on my Wish List for Mass Velocity - half-miler, Jon Tetherly


Spencer finally signed-up for Mass Velocity. Was there any event he
didn't compete in?


Mass Velocity one-lappers (400m):
(L-R) Warren, Charlie, Tom, Butch, Bobby and Roger
A word about Tom Gillen - I think we now know why he often wears a hat
and based on his performances, should be considered Mass Velocity's
MOST IMPROVED this year.


A true, all-Mass Velocity heat in the 400m:
(L-R) Charlie, Tom, Bobby (hidden behind Tom), Warren, Roger and Butch


Coming around the final turn


Charlie dips at the finish




At Roger's insistence, I sneak into this photo at the end of a good meet.
It was great to see so many Mass Velocity guys wearing their red uniforms.
We're looking like and running like a great team!
