KVC Founding Fathers

Alex has gotten the new web page up, so the info for KVC 2010 will soon start flowing. I'm thinking this is a good time to mention the founding fathers and so provide a back drop for this transition time in the history of the event.
Bill McGuire was a co-chair of the event from 2005-2009. Bill is well known in the community and was able to bring numerous sponsors such as Coast Tire to the event. His determination and hard work was responsible for really making this arguably the 'best bang for your buck' marathon in the Atlantic Provinces. Bill and I worked well together and even when we didn't agree, we always found the middle ground that ensured all participants were well accomadated.
Bill ran the event a number of times and qualified for Boston at the 2004 KVC. He went on to run Boston twice. Bill and I had opportunity to run KVC together in 2006. I was trying to qualify for Boston myself and went out fast. I knew Bill would be close behind and sure enough he caught me on Rothesay Ave. As he went by me he paused in front of Crosbys seeing that I was slowing down and started to chat me up. No sooner had he done so and his legs spassed and froze. He was now walking along like 'Kramer in tight jeans'. I didn't know what to do, so I kept saying, "Walk it Off, Walk it Off", slapped him on the back, almost knocked him over and then I took off because my Boston time was slipping by. Bill re-grouped and finished shortly after, but he never let me forget how I left him stuck in front of Crosbys.
