Rich,
Thanks for posting Doug Pearl, I just couldn't think of his name. He & Lee had some awesome races together. John also ran very well, but I do not recall him racing against Doug & David, at least me personally seeing them compete together. I also believe that Doug won several marathon national championships. I won 2 in "S" & third in the 3rd consecutive one & I believe he might have won SJ in all 3 of those.
