I can truly say that it has been a team effort. Most of all, however, I would like to thank you the members for allowing me, through your confidence and support, to make my own personal contribution to the success of the club. During this time we have seen FRNY grow from about 40 to over 400 members, becoming one of the largest and most active lesbian/gay organizations in New York. I think we can all be very proud of the accomplishments of the club and the positive image that we project, especially in these difficult times, and I 1 m sure we can look forward to continued sucess in the years ahead. Once again, thank you all for allowing me to serve these last five years as President. ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Meeting of FRNY will take place on Wed., Dec. 19, at the Community Center, 208 W. 13th St., starting about 8:30PM. Our run will start from the Center (you may drop off your bag) and will be followed by dinner catered by FR Leo Boneau, at $7.00 per person, starting about 8 PM .

NAN BAILEY: In the year and a half I have been a member of Front Runners, -Pg. 2- �RICK BUCKHEIT: As we close down another successful year of Front Runner events we can look forward to an even more successful and exciting year in 1986. In the coming year we will continue to take steps to enhance Front Runners' reputation and visibility. One such step Front Runners w i ll be taking is the positive step of obtaining a coach to attract new members and to improve running performance. This improved performance will be witnessed in San Francisco during our participation in the Gay Games in August. The results of the Gay Games are sure to prove Front Runners New York as a winning sports organization in the eyes of athletes from all over North America. When individual Front Runners win events we are all winners, because Front Runners improves its stature in the running community and in the Lesbian and Gay community. In these times it is more important than ever to continue the positive image Front Runners portrays. With your help, by voting for me as Director, I will continue working to enhance Front Runners' visibility and outstanding reputation within the running community as well as within the Lesbian and Gay community. JULIE KELM: I feel the best move I made was to join Front Runners. have developed many warm, loving friendships that I would otherwise have missed out on. As women's race team captain (which I will remain) I've learned that I can handle what I need to do and possibly more. I've accepted the responsibilities and feel very committed to the club. If elected, I would do the very best I can to benefit the club and its members. · JOE STRAUS: When I joined Front Runners three years ago, it was with the hope of being part of a group of runners who happen to be gay. What I've seen evolve since that time is a group of gays who happen to be runners--and this distresses me, as the two are not the same. There have been situations that have skewed the perspective, and ft is my intention to shift the focus back to running. Furthermore, I get concerned that those members who don't live in Manhattan feel shortchanged. Being lucky enough to maintain a residence out of the city, I' 11 work to insure that all have "equal footing" (I had to get a running reference in somehow!). I hope to have your support. -FIRTH WHITEHOUSE: When I joined Front Runners in Sept. 1984, I hoped that the Fun Runs would help me keep up my training for my first marathon. Little did know that, within the period of a year, not only would I finish the marathon and other races, but Front Runners would become one of the main foci in my 1 ife. Throughout the last six months in particular, I have come to cherish the support and friendship of fellow Front Runners, both "on the road" and off. Not too long ago, dur i ng a 4 mile race, despite sleet, snow and cold, I was cheered on to the finish by other dedicated Front Runners. I think that this exemplifies what Front Runners means to me: dedication. For whatever reason people join Front Runners, be it to race with a team, to stay in shape, to meet other people, or any combination of reasons, I know that it is impossible for the quality of their life NOT to be enhanced by the group. Front Runners is already a strong presence in the gay community, and we are rapidly becoming a stronger and more visible force in the running community. As Director-at-Large, I will give my "personal best" in working toward attracting new members, rekindling the interest of inactive members, and toward increasing and improving our already fun and plentiful schedule of events. CARL ZANOLLI One of my driving concerns since joining FRNY has been the promotion of our racing team and the image of our club as one of the premier gay organizations in NYC. As an active member and a frequent racer in both running and triathlon events, I feel the element of competition is the most powerful instrument for improvement and growth not only for our club but for ourselves. For this reason, I became involved on the committee to find a coach which is a major step toward enhancing our racing team and the performance of all members. As director, I would encourage FRs to take a larger role in the sphere of gay politics. We have, intact, the strength of our organization and the committment -Pg. 3- �the means of expressing a political voice in the gay of our membership as activities in NYC. My leadership abilities have been proven in the past as a successful member of the steering committee in my building during our I would of the executive board. later as a member condominium conversion and the benefit of the club and help to qualities for bring to bear all these achieve the vision I have for FRs and the common cause we all have in making our club a place for superior athletic performance and a strong, positive statement for gay men and women.

Another top priority is the selection, by the President, of a Race Director. If interested, be prepared to speak up after the election. Further details about planning for the race will be announced in the next newsletter. BUSINESS MEETING About 40 FRs managed to tear themselves away from the oatmeal cookies, chocolate pumpkin cake, Iinzer torte (George S 1 s favorite), and moosehead gingerbread (the dessert of choice of yours truly), all delectably presented and thoughtfully labeled by Barney Kates and Dave Mose, in order to participate in the November business meeting. Among the announcements were the following: Dan Del Monte reported a record 36 FR finishers at the NYC Marathon, and also said that the Club Council; of which we are a member, is bidding for more power within the Metropolitan Athletic Congress (MAC). There ensued a discussion during which members expressed opposition to the Club Council s proposal which would limit forthcoming team events. Danny emphasized the need for a larger FR turn-out at team events. A similar discussion did not eventuate concerning the re-order of our Fifth Anniversary shirt; member~anxious to possess an instant collectible, voted to design a new long-sleeved shirt rather than re-order the old one. Richard W. and Nan B. reported the success of FR presentations at Brooklyn College and to Gay Police Officers, complete with realistic on-the-spot injury development by the aforementioned Bailey. Finally, Dave Mose closed the nominations for club officers (see details elsewhere in this Newsletter); elections results to be announced at the December business meeting. Speaking of which, that meeting, perhaps better known as the justly famed Annual Meeting, will be held on Dec. 18th at the Community Center. Will the highlight be Leo B s brownies or Steve G s farewell address? Come and find out! Lenore Beaky 1 1 1 HOBOKEN HOBBLE After navigating limited Sunday sevice on NYC 1 s subway and Port Authority 1 s PATH train, 15 NYFRs were ready to face anything the New Jersey terrain had to offer. Little did this stalwart group suspect on the bright, sunny morning of Nov. lOth that the Weehawken cliffs lay near the end of this ten - mile route. Phil Blackwell and Bob Richert blithely led us through train yards, by magnificent vistas of Manhattan, and along variously ethnically populated neighborhood streets. But enough of this pitter-patter of rubbersoled feet--thankfully interrupted by Howard Kessler 1 s roving water wagon--and onto the mountain climbing portion of the trek. It began innocently enough ~ith a ramp over a railroad yard; then the long, slow rise past the Lincoln Tunnel; and lastly the tortuous killer climb of Weehawken 1 s cliffs. It was only Jon Livingston 1 s tale of running with authentic Chippendale strippers that got me up that last hill! At the top (the site of the infamous Hamilton-Burr duel), the huffing and puffing group was rewarded with a breathtaking (with what little breath was left) view across the Hudson. Then back down the precipice (it even seemed steep going down), with Dave Weir yelling warnings of imminent disaster, we ran to the manor of T.J. Storch to gorge ourselves with his very own 11 you 1 d never- know-it-was-vegetarian 11 chili, salad, cider, and fruit, complemented by home-baked bread by John Delves. It was only the strength of the coffee that got our weary, but satisfied, bodies moving again from Teej s comfortable and (until we arrived) quiet home.

For the first part of the tour Steve will direct us through the Ramble (one of his quickies). We will then visit 'The Strip' (lOth Ave.) with its open air sanctuary, The Church of Our Ladies of the Evening in the Morning. We might have to make some short stops as he collects his commissions. Finally we will dine at The Great Hall of Palms, at the Spike. This is a leather tie affair so do dress accordingly. Howard Kessler RUNNING MONOLOGUE He has not always been the President of the club, though sometimes it seems like he has. He is not even a founding member and therefore not one of its architects. What must be said about him is that he is liken to the club's engineer. In his tenure as President he took the usual codes of a club and surpassed all standards, building it to the recognized organization that it is today. When things needed to be done, and there always are, not only did he do them, he recognized those things first. The incredible amount of time that he spent and keeps on spending, without personal gain, made it easier for us. The positive decisions that he and the Boards moved upon upgraded our club so that we can be proud of our membership in it. He will always be a part of the club pride. I believe that the reason that he is not running again for club President is as much for the good of all of us as it is for some personal time for himself and Bob. Show your appreciation for his fine work. He has a great number of club singlets and T-shirts. If you have not bought one within the last few months, do help clean out his basement. Buy one now from our Pres .•• damned if I can remember his name. Thanks Steve, for all you have done. Thanks Bob, for letting us have him for so long. Howard Kessler CATHY'S DOWNTOWN Once again, FR women had another fun brunch, this time at Cathy's Downtown. The day was wet and cold so the hot coffee and bagels provided warmth to the body. The glow came later. After the change of wet, soggy clothes, and borrowed socks, we all settled down to a cozy afternoon. Topics of dicussion ranged from race results to the Pillsbury Dough Boy and we must not forget the wonder of answering machines. Last but not least, the question of the day- What was Quick Draw McGraw's sidekicks' name? For those who didn't come, there will be more.

V I , No . 1 0 FROM STEVE GERBEN With FR elections coming up, it is time for those of you who may be interested to start thinking about running for office. This year, it seems as if we will have a larger turnover than usual. Those who are considering running for office should be prepared to cannit themselves to the time that is required in managing a large organization. The work is rewarding, but it is work, so please take that into consideration . If you have any questions about what is involved with a particular office, please talk to that officer or director. ELECTION TIME The 1st step in our election process will take place at the Oct 23rd business meeting. Nominations will be taken for '86 Officers and Directors by Dave Mose, who has been appointed Elections Officer. Any member may nominate him/herself or any other member in good standing. Nominations will remain open until the Nov business meeting, and the ballots will be sent out with the Dec mailing. Watch for complete details in the Nov Newsletter. BENEFIT RUN By now, everyone should have a long list of sponsors for our Benefit Run on Saturday, Oct 5th. Meet at 10 AM at Tavern-on-the -Green, and after the run we will picnic in the Sheep Meadow. For those of you doing a long run, someone will be there by 9 AM to watch the bags. Please follow the instructions on the Sponsor Pledge Form carefully, and try to collect your pledges as quickly as possible after the run. This is your chance to show your interest and concern for our cannunity, so p~an on taking part. PASS THE PASTA The last Sunday in Oct has been long noted for the staging of the NYC Marathon- the Friday before the marathon is almost as well noted for being FRs' Annual Pig-Out Party, operating under the guise of 11 carbo loading 11 for marathoners. This year's event promises to be no different. Date: Friday, Oct 25th. Time: 7:30 PM. Location: O'Shea Junior High School Cafeteria, 100 W 77th Street~ost: $2.00 for room rental. We will supply plates, cups, silverware, etc~lease call Bruce Bates at 718-847-2275 to make a reservation and to tell him what kind of dish you're bringing (i.e., salad, pasta, dessert).

NYC MARATHON Those of you into water sports will get your big chance on Sunday, Oct 27th, when FRNY will again be in charge of the water station at the 24 mile mark in Central Pk, behind the Met Museum. Co-captains Debby Pastrich and Francis Brady will be happy to take your name, as well as friends who would like to help out. We usually have 70-80 people on hand, and it's a great way to see the Marathon and give encouragemen t to the many FRs who are running. Rubber fetishists should bring their own rubber gloves. HALLOWEEN CANCELLED Our party, that is. Due to lack of a suitable place to have our party, it was decided not to hold it this year. Perhaps we' 11 try again next year. SQUARE DANCE PARTY Get ready to break out the plaid shirts and bandanas, we are having our first square dance party on Saturday, Nov 16th. For those of you who didn't get to run in the NYC Marathon, you can make up for it in this 3 hour dance marathon. Watch for complete details in the Nov Newsletter. �BUSINESS MEETING The 3 dozen or so FRs who attended the Sept business meeting at Sue Foster's apartment were by turns stirred into applause for Sue's chocolate chip cookies and stunned into (brief) silence at the early conclusion Nevertheless, much was of the meeting itself (aPR for business meetings?). reported on the tax hearing, during which we Richard Walker accomplished. Following that argued persuasively that we are not primarily a social club. came announcements of the following social events: the Parents of Gays report as Dinner, the Pre-marathon Pasta Party, the Square Dance, the Holiday Party, (Philly).

After an uneventful but noisy ride (due to the riders and not the bus), we arrived to be welcomed, as it were, into the bosan of Philadelphia Frontrunnerdom. Logistics were quickly dispensed with and the group scattered with their various hosts. Ill Saturday dawned bright and cheerful. Early tourists at Independence Hall were subjected to the antics and cavorting of almost 70 FRs from NY, DC, Houston and Philadelphia. Hey, if you can't be free in front of the Liberty Bell, where can you be? Due to a slight glitch involving the embarkation of a cruise ship (how appropriate) the fun run 1 iterally ran into a dead end and everyone had to double back, which meant that the leaders (who knew where we were going) were at the rear of the pack. However, everything got sorted out and we continued on our merry way. Ill After a huge lunch at Reading Terminal most of us took a walking tour of Phi !adelphia, kindly hosted and guided by one of the Phi lly runners. Saturday night was a buffet dinner and dance on the U of P campus. (How many people noticed that the dance was held in the 11 Chapel of Reconciliation 11 ?) After several vain attempts to persuade the D.J. to up the tempo, yours truly came through by combining bribery and a French (history) lesson - the first being a Diet Coke and the second being 11 Remember what happened to Marie Antoinette when the people didn't 1 i k e h e r ? 11 • By t he t i me I g o t b a c k t o t h e d a n c e f 1o o r t he Po i n t e r S i s t e r s we r e jumping all over the place - and so was everyone else. Rumor has it that the party went on till 4 AM -at least on the dance floor. Ill Sunday was, of course, the half marathon. (See report of that elsewhere in the newsletter.) Congratulations to everyone who ran the race- I'm almost tempted to do it next year. A buffet brunch was held at one of Philadelphia's bars - food for days. Ill Sunday afternoon was free time. Some of us spent it touring the city and fainting every five seconds - the approximate length of time it takes to go from one 11 Apartment for Rent 11 sign to another. I've started packing already- anyone wanna buy a couch? Ill The trip back was as quiet as the trip going was loud. Next time we're renting a bus with berths. Ill A big round of applause to all the Phillies who went to so much trouble for us. You're going to be a tough act to follow. Bruce Bates PRs GALORE IN PHILADELPHIA Congratulations are in order for each of the NYFRs who ran in the Sept 15th Philadelphia Distance Run. Weather conditions were perfect for a fast half marathon race. In fact, winner Mark Curp posted a world record of 1:00:55 to beat 6,500 runners to the finish line. Many FRs set records of their own. Of the 18 NYFRs who ran, 13 set PRs. Team results are not yet available but should be forthcoming shortly. Special recognition goes to Jon Livingston, Bill Dolan and TJ Storch for taking minutes off their previous half marathon times, and also to Richard Walker, Rick Reece and Paul Kelly for excellent debut half marathon performances. Special thanks to Paul, Andrew Khoo and Leo Boneau, who unselfishly ran in the place of team members who were unable to make it to Philadelphia. Without them, FRs would not have had a sufficient number of team members to qualify in the men's open division. Get well wishes go to Charlie Edwards who drove to Philadelphia from Syracuse to run his first race as a FR. The day before the race Charlie took a fall and spent much of the weekend in Jefferson Hospital. We hope to see you back in shape soon Charlie, and in the NYC Marathon this Oct.

I too made several grand entrances, with the distinction of coming in last or close to it in several events, thus garnering much applause for pluckiness. And the fact that the 10K course was about 100 meters short in no way detracted from in this event (It was a TAC-sanctioned course, after all!).

Our post Labor Day schedule will lead off with our weekend in Philadelphia and Meet-the-Membership Run in September; our Benefit Run, Premarathon Party, the NYC Marathon, and our Halloween Party in October; a Square Dance Party in November; and, finally, our Holiday Party and Annual Meeting in December. It's a busy year-end season, so watch for details in this and upcoming newsletters. BREAKFAST AT JASON'S Due to continuing losses on the Saturday morning breakfasts, we are in danger of losing Jason's as our meeting place. To forestall this from happening, we are instituting a cover charge of $1 per person, which includes one cup of coffee. This cover char~e applies, however, whether you have anything to eat or not. A second cup of coffee will be $.50 a n d t he b age 1 s a n d dan i s h w i 1 l r em a i n $ I . 2 5 e a c h . P a yme n t w i 1 1 c on t i n u e t o be done on the honor system, as you leave. Any deficit that Jason's has at the end of each month will be covered by the club. From past experience, we know how difficult it would be to find another place that could accommodate us. Hopefully, this will enable us to remain there for the foreseeable future. BELL OF THE FALL In a continuing effort to expand our cultural horizons, the Social Committee (moi), in connection with the powers that be, is pleased to announce that plans are being firmed up for our first annual pilgrimage to the City of Brotherly Love for the weekend of September 13 through 15, as guests of the Philadelphia FRs. A highlight of the weekend will be the Philadelphia Distance Run on Sunday (see enclosed flyer for details and application form). Once again, we will be chartering a bus, at a round trip cost of $20 per person, on a first-co~, first-served basis. Send your check to the club address or hand it in to one of the officers. As most of you know, the trip to Washington sold out incredibly fast, so reserve your space as quickly as possible. Full details will be provided in the next newsletter. Bruce Bates MEET-THE-MEMBERSHIP RUN & PICNIC Saturday, September 21, is the date for our semi-annual Meet-the-Membership Run & Picnic in Central Park. Once again, we will be breaking up into small subgroups according to pace and distance. This is a great way to get involved in club activities and to meet new members, so mark down the date and watch for details in the next newsletter. BENEFIT RUN Our annual Benefit Run , to raise money for service organizations in our community, will be held on Saturday, October 5. We will decide at the August business meeting which organizations we will include, and the Sponsor Pledge Form will be sent out with the September newsletter. MONEY, MONEY EVERYWHERE Due mainly to our large race surplus, we find ourselves in the enviable position of having too much money. However, as a tax-exempt organization, we are limited by the IRS as to how much profit we can show each year. Therefore, we are asking our Finance Committee to look into ways of spending our surplus (charitable contributions don't count). If you would like to help out in this pleasant task, talk to Nan Bailey, Chairperson of the Finance Committee.. The first meeting will take place on Saturday, August 17, after the breakfast at Jason's. �FRONT RUNNERS NEW YORK, INC.

Storch, Joe Piliero, Jon Livingston and Bruce Bates. Extra special thanks to the members of the Board of Directors, Officers and in particular, Steve Gerben, whose energy, support and barbed humor were always in ready supply. A few statistics: This year's race drew a record field of 955 entrants (approx. 850 of whom actually ran). For the 1st time in history of the event, over 1/3 the entrants were women. The volunteers and racers consumed 60 cases of Soho Natural Soda and 20 watermelons. First FRNY finishers were Christopher Rhinehart (6th overall) and Sue Foster (2nd woman overall). The race began 13 min.- 40 sec. late, but the 1st finisher finished 8 sec. faster than the previous record holder. The humidity was higher and the temperatures cooler than in any pervious year. The vast majority of entrants were drawn from those who had raced in previous years. The event made a profit of $1900 for the club to use at its discretion. Only 2 people tossed thier cookies at the finish line. The race director -who drank an average of 4.7 cups of coffee per day for the 5 days leading up to the event - had a wonderful time and wished good luck to all the future race-directors-to be!

Kessler JONES BEAQ-1 DAY July 21 was a sultry Sunday morning when the FRs' Tupperware Brigade ambushed the 8:39 train to Babylon. They shot through Penn Station in a fusillade of fusilli salads, curried chicken, Pepperidge Farm cookies, and fresh California watermelon. Arriving in Freeport, 6 sweat worshippers led by Kessler entrusted their beach bags to the kindness of strange people and ran a scorching, waterless 11M to the beach, smugly skirting past bumper-to-bumper cars and blind bicyclists. Kessler, Khoo, Criscione, Livingston, Stuart and Yeary hauled it in by 11, when a 2nd bussed-in pack of runners were setting out to consort with parkway traffic. By lRM, the FRs encampment cut an impressive sprawl around the purple banner where FRs and fusill i baked as one under a torrid sky. There was no question that the day's emphasis was on improving Speedo tan lines rather than speed. Entertainment was provided by Storch's Shrivelled Nuts Water Ballet Corps di Monte Carlo performing naked but tasteful synchronized swim routines that borrowed heavily from Lucy and Ethel's Wednesday Matinee Society, with a touch of Vicki Eydie's Global Revue thrown in for good measure. Throughout the day, stray FRs availed themselves of Jones Beach's beautiful flora and fauna by taking nature walks beyond the dunes. Jan Stuart TOUR THE APPLE'S ORCHARD The starting temp. was 83, humidity 100% and skies hazy. Need anything more be said about the 15M run that began at 72 St. and Riverside and ended (mercifully) at Orchard Beach. It started pleasantly enough. Seven souls began the northward trek in a cheery (if bleary eyed) fashion. The small group lent a certain intimacy to the run. We all travelled pretty much together. It wasn't long, before the day's heat began to take its toll on our bodies. At 2Ms, while we were still on Riverside Dr., our parched throats began asking softly for a little water. The Broadway hills challenged us with each step, the next hill draining our energy geometrically faster than the one before. The 3rd water stop, at 7Ms, seemed like a mirage as we crawled towards the temporary relief it would provide. More water found its way to our chests and foreheads, than to our mouths, as we tried to bring our body temperatures back down to safe numbers. At this brief stop 2 more runners, crazed that they were, joined our roving band. Next, came University Bridge and the Bronx. What Fordham Rd. lacked in hills, it more than made up for in construction debris. The lOth M was our next water stop, and we simply poured and drank, poured and drank. Another runner joined our ranks, but 2 decided that a subway ride back was their only salvation. A brief oasis was provided by the Fordham U grounds, the Zoo and the Botanical Garden, as we walked, now very slowly, towards our destination. By the last water stop, we were near completely finished. We refuelled on the precious water, knowing no amout drunk could satisfy our desperate needs. Yet, the beach lay ahead, so we carried on. Our last steps were walking steps, the legs having lost the ability to run. Finally, Orchard Beach, and we gave ourselves to the god Neptune so that we could save our souls for tomorrow's run. (PS -Actually the run was not all that bad and the environmental beach, without radio noise and dirt, was quite pleasant. Thanks, Howard!) PPS -Special thanks to Dennis and Mike, our newest friends, for towing the baggage and providing the much needed water stops.)

A great way to get involved in club activities and meet many new merrbers is our Meet-the-Membership Run & Picnic on Sept. 21, so plan on coming out and enjoying the day with your fellow members . BREAKFAST AT JASON'S Our new payment system at Jason's seems to be working reasonably well. However, there is still some confusion about what you have to pay. The cover charge of $1, which includes one cup of coffee, applies to everyone, whether you have coffee or not. This allows you to drop off your bag, change clothes, have water, socialize and have the use of the premises for the morning. A second cup of coffee is ·$.50, and the bagels and danish are $1.25 each. Payment is on the honor system, as you leave. Remember, they are opening up just to accommodate us, .so let's make sure that we all do our part to see that we don ' t lose this much needed facility. MEET THE MEMBERSHIP RUN This fall's run is scheduled for Saturday, Septerrber .. .21 at 10:00 AM. Meet north of the Tavern on the Green, picnic lunch in tow. Look for the banner; someone will be there to watch the bags. Any questions, or if you'd like to help, call Connie Knapp or Richard Walker. Don't miss this opportunity to meet other FRs; it ' s also a good opportunity to introduce a friend to the club. TAKE THE FIRST STEP Our first run for beginning runners, aptly. named "Take the F i r s t S t e p 11 , i s s c he d u 1e d f o r Sat u r day morn i n g , September 2 8 a t 1 0 : 0 0 AM. The runners will meet at Jason's, and proceed from there to the reservoir. The run will corisist of one lap around the reservoir, and will include a stretching clinic. Ads will appear in community newspapers. If you'd like to help lead the run, please call Richard Walker, Connie Knapp or Guy Zelenak. And please let all your non-running friends know about this opportunity to get "hooked" on running. BENEFIT RUN Our third annual Benefit Run will be held on Saturday, October 5, at 10:00 AM. A sponsor form is enclosed with this newsletter. We will be collecting money for the same eight groups that we did last year (SAGE, NGTF, ARC, IPLGY, the Gay Switchboard, GNHC, the Lesbian Herstory Archives and the Community Services Center), and AREA. We' 11 be meeting north of the Tavern on the Green at 10:00 AM to run, followed by a picnic. Please plan to participate, and help make this year's run as successful as our previous runs. • • ELECTION TIME The time is approaching for the opening of nominations for FRNY officers and directors for 1986. The first step in our election process is the selection, by the Board, of our Electi6ns Officer who is to preside over the election process. If you are interested in this position, talk to any of the officers before the next Board meeting on Sept. 18. �THE PHILADELPHIA STORY Plans are ~ being finalized for this, our first annual excursion to Philadelphia, September 13-15. The charted bus will make two pickups - 72nd Street and Central Park West at 7 PM and Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue South at 7:30PM. The trip will be non-stop, so bring dinner and beverages. Arrival time is scheduled for approximately 10 PM. Saturday's Schedule includes a morning fun run through the historical district and an optional walking tour of Philly in the afternoon. Saturday night a buffet dinner (with cash bar) and a dance are planned. Sunday morning is, of course, the Philadelphia Distance Run. An alternate fun run is planned for those who do not feel up to a half-marathon (like me!). After the fun run and the distance run a brunch is planned at one of Philadelphia's gay-owned resturants. Sunday afternoon is free time, with the bus scheduled to leave Philadelphia at 7 PM. Please note that the Saturday dinner, dance and Sunday brunch is a package deal and at $19.50 per person is a steal. Round trip bus fare is $20.00. Please, please, please let me know ASAP if you plan to attend the dinner/dance and brunch, and get your money in as soon as possible Bruce Bates GAY GAMES II The time has come to start planning your 1986 vacation!

NEWS FROM THE ROAD Another chapter of Front Runners can be added to the list of over 15 FRs organizations located in various cities. River City FRs make their home in San Antonio, Texas. The group was organized through the efforts of Walt Smith with the support of interested runners from the community. May 1st marked the inaugural run for RCFR. Each Wednesday evening the group, which at present consists of approximately 15 members, meets at their "club house" a bar called Papa Bear's. Then it's off to Breckenridge Park for a run along the rolling hills (which are minute by Central Park standards), across the San Antonio River past the zoo and on through the Sunken Gardens. After the run it's back to Papa Bear's for refreshments. Sunday morning runs begin at the early hour of 9 N~. Running early in the morning is a necessity in San Antonio due to the summer heat. Training in such heat should put visiting RCFRs in top shape to run our Gay Pride Run. RCFR founder Walt Smith has been in particularly good shape. R~cently, Walt set a PR and placed 3rd in his age division in a 5-mile race with a time of 29:20. --- RCFRs are planning a Gay Pride Run of their own. It's called the River City Gay Fiesta 5K and will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28th, in conjunction with the San Antonio Gay Fiesta weekend. Anyone interested in attending the festival or participating . in a RCFR fun run should contact Walt Smith at 512-822-2019. Rick Buckheit PARABLES OF GAY MJNEY As GPR Program Director, Tim Storch can tell you, it's not easy asking businesses to advertise in the Gay Pride Run program; but it~ easy to thank them for it. Parable #1 - I ordered a small supply of vitamins from Health Cycle ( one of the flyers in the runner's bag) and wrote simply "Thanks for your support of FR" on the order form. The president of the canpnay wrote back: "It was a pleasure to support the Front Runners. You set a very healthy and cohesive example for not only the Gay community, but for anyone with the presence of mind to experience the joy that comes from achieving." Parable #2- I was in Tiger's Eye to buy a shower curtain and thanked the owner for his ad. He said that at least five Front Runners had already mentioned the ad and how impressed he was with that sort of follow-up. He said that although he was delighted to merely support the Gay community, he was ecstatic that the ad was actually working! In fact, he mentioned that he had deliberately decided not to take an ad in several other groups' publications because of the. la~ of appreciation from those groups. And when less than an hour later, Joel Ifcher came in and thanked the owner, he committed to next year's ad right then and t he r e !

This year, they will be honoring Marlo Thonias and Ken Dawson, Executive Director of SAGE. FRNY will again have a table at the dinner. The cost is $50 per person, made out to POG Dinner, and sent to the club address as quickly as possible.

Three-quarters of the group proceeded to act Bates's Early Warning like trash- for the other one-quarter it was no act!

Take sane time to look over the race results and observe how the Summer trend to shorter distances has brought about some excellent times in the 1M, 5K & 2M and Bi/Triathlons etc. Soon, marathon season will be with us, and members training have already begun long runs together to prepare. If you haven•t heard from the NYC Marathon about your entry (or have been rejected) please contact Julie or Dan. We are interested in finding how the new system worked out for (or against) our members, and have the possibility of giving NYRRC some feedback about it. PLEASE contact us soon.

For further information call Nan Bailey at 718-622-9132 or Connie Knapp at 718-768-3038. CELEBRATE THE FINISH With a picnic in Prospect Park. This is a 5-mile run which will be held on September 15 at 10 AM. The proceeds from this race will be donated to: SAVE THE CHILDREN, THE FOOD AND HUNGER HOTLINE, RIVERSIDE CHURCH GLOBAL PARTNERS and WORLD HUNGER INTERNATIONAL FOl..Jf\DATION. As runners many of us have experienced assorted aches and pains in our legs, feet, or hips. With proper rest and .treatment we usually recover from our injuries and thus are able to run once again. The persistent pain caused by hunger does not, however, go . away very easily. The entry fees from this race awill not obliterate all the hunger in New York City. It surely will help. While Ma Bell urges us to "reach out and touch someone", I say "let 1 s run the race and help feed someone". To celebrate the finish, we 1 ll meet at the finish line and gather for . a picnic. Remember to bring a lunch. If you_cannot run the race help by volunteering to work it. If interested call Laura Prechard at 718-636-4457. For · race applications see Connie Knapp, Julie Kelm or Debbie White.

VI , 1--Jo • 4 FROM STEVE GERBEN In our continuing efforts to improve and expand club activities and services, Race Captains Dan Del Monte and Julie Kelm, along with Lee Abbey and his computer, are now in the process of computerizing our race results information. When completed, members will be able to find out their PRs at different distances, pace per mile, etc. This information will be for internal use only by the Race Captains and for members interested in their own race performances. We are also revising our method of reporting race results in the Newsletter. For all of NYRRC's ~ored races, they will provide us a list of finishers who put Front Runners NY in the team-entry section of the application. These results will automatically be listed in the Race Results section of the Newsletter and you won't have to call in your results. If you fail to put FRNY on the application and you want to be listed in the Race Results section, you must call Dan or Julie or send them a note, or send it to the club address. For non-NYRRC races, non scored NYRRC races or if in doubt, and you want to be listed, it is~ responsibility to see that we get your results. This will take effect with the May Newsletter. Also included with this mailing is a Membership Services Questionnaire regarding present and proposed activities of FRNY. Please take the time to complete and return it as promptly as possible. Your response will help to determine the planning and direction of the club for the future. COMPUTER COMMITTEE FORMED Due mainly to increasing problems with the production of our Newsletter, the Board has decided to recommend that the club take the final step into the computer age by buying a computer. A committee has been formed, headed by Francis Brady, to investigate additional uses and the cost involved, as well as which computer to buy. If you have any ideas for club use of a computer, or would like to help out in recommending a purchase, please call Francis at 212 691-4309. IT'S ARRIVED! Our new windbreaker made a smashing debut at the fashion show held at Jason's after the run on Saturday, March 23, and is selling briskly. For those of you who can't make it to the runs but would like to purchase one, or some other item of FRNY apparel, you can use the new mail order form (thanks to Sue Foster for doing the illustrations), which is included with this mailing. We will no longer be listing the running gear in each Newsletter, but will mail the Order Form periodically to facilitate ordering by mail. Everyone can and should have some FR items, so get your order in now! MEET-THE-MEMBERSHIP RUN & PICNIC Despite the threats of an impending water drought this summer, pray for sunshine and warmth on the first Saturday in May! No matter what the weather, however, we' 11 be sponsoring our Spring Meet-theMembership Run & Picnic on May 4 at 10:00 AM, starting at Tavern on the Green. (See the enclosed flyer for details.) This traditionally rain-soaked event doesn't get accomplished without some help. We' 11 need volunteers to (a) staff a p h o n e c amp a i g n t o c a 1 1 a 1 1 memb e r s a b o u t t he R u n , ( b ) s e r v e a s 11 pace c a p t a i n s 11 to run with small groups, and (c) guard the bags and baskets (picnic, that is) during the run. If you can help with any of these tasks, please let Connie Knapp or Richard Walker know as soon as possible. �GAY PRIDE RUN 'a5 Many thanks to all the FRs and friends who attended the March 23 Fundraiser at Uncle Charlie's Village. Nearly 190 people helped to raise almost $1,500 towards the cost of the race and had themselves a gay old time into the bargain. Partygoers were treated to videos of "Chariots of Fire•• and "Personal Best" and other live action shots of greater and lesser renown; one partygoer remarked how difficult it seemed for Robby Benson to pout and sweat at the same time. NYFR Brent Nicholson Earle was the lucky winner of the doorprize - dinner for two, including a bottle of wine, at Greene Street Restaurant and Cafe. Many thanks to NYFR Carl Lorenzen for his efforts in obtaining the doorprize and in helping the club obtain Uncle Charlie 1 s for the event. As April lS draws near and the taxpinch is felt, reflect on what a nice deduction a good contribution to this year 1 s race will be on next year•s return. Mid-April is also the target date for this year•s mass mailing of race applications to runners who have participated in the Gay Pride Run in the past, other FR clubs, and area racing teams. Technical Director Bob Brins will be responsible for coordinating the mailing canpaign. He will need assistance and you may volunteer for the campaign by calling him at 212-249-1619. Many thanks to NYFR Firth Whitehouse, whose assistance in that regard has been most valuable. Those of you not fortunate enough to be working the glamor positions at the finish line will find a race application tucked away in this mailing to fill out and send in. See also our advertisement in the April 1 issue of the New York Native, complete (for · the very first time this year) with a built-in race application! Congratulations to NYFR and graphics whiz Jon Livingston for engineering the feat, and to logo designer Joe Piliero for providing the strong design inspiration. Guy Zelenak will be fielding a strong finish line team of NYFRs for our first GPR finish-line tune-up at the Perrier lOK on March 30, but the need to identify additional key finish-line personnel remains critical. Gay Pride Run is only as strong as the people who do the "grunt" work help it to be. As much endurance is needed (and satisfaction gained) out of working a race as is needed in kicking for a finish line. Ask any grizzled veteran. Then volunteer. Guy's number is 7la-27a-82aO. Another race volunteer in need of assistance is Program Director Tim Storch. Sponsor Kits for the advertisements in the program will be going out in mid-April, and Tim will need staunch FRs to do leg work and phone calling. Call him at 201-6S9-6542. Finally- and happily -we're proud to announce that GPR •as has acquired two $1,000 Race Benefactors. Christopher Street Financial, Inc. and American Natural Beverage Corp. (makers of Soho Natural Soda) have undertaken sponsorship at this level to show their support of the GPR and FRNY. Gay money plays a significant role in gay power; the empowerment which these two corporations have conferred on the race will have a major and positive impact on the quality of the race which we are able to provide. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Bob Casaletto of Christopher Street Financial and Connie Best and Bill Cramb of American Natural Beverage for their generosity and farsightedness. I would also invite any FRs who so choose to show their gratitude for this sponsorship by buying services and products from the two benefactors. Jim Skofield, GPR •as Race Director NEWS FROM THE ROAD DCFR was established in 1981 and at present consists of approximately 90 members. Runners meet for Saturday morning, out-and-back "Rock Creek fun runs" at 10 AM at the corner of 23rd and P Streets, NW. Running locations vary for their Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday runs. Once again F~~ will be trekking south to Washington to be the guests of the gracious DCFR club. Joining the weekend will be lS Philly FRs. Be sure to see Social Chairperson Bruce Bates ASAP for prime sleeping arrangements for the Nlay 17-19th weekend. The DC club has come up with a 15K (9.3 miles) race to coincide with the weekend. Rumor has it the 8th mile of the race takes you right up Capitol Hill and it 1 s a bitch. If you plan on attending the weekend festivities and running in this odd-distance race, you•d better get in on Guy•s running clinics , particularly the hill work clinics. Also planned for the weekend is a fundraising party on Saturday the 18th. One final note: When in DC, don•t forget to ask club President John about his ••bedroom mishap."

We had a delightful brunch at Nan Bailey's in Brooklyn, complete with Holly Near sing-along for entertainm ent. See what you're missing by not showing up at these unforgetta ble events? And I haven't even mentioned the tons of food and gallons of coffee we consumed. The next brunch will be at noon on April 21, after the Runners Love Brooklyn Race, a 10K in Prospect Park, at Nan's, 14 Fiske Place (718-622-9 132), for a repeat performanc e. There will be a $2 chip-in, as usual. Wear your FR racing singlet (available from Steve Gerben or by mail order) and meet at the baggage check after the race. Bring your friends and lovers, whether they run or not, for a well-spen t afternoon. Connie Knapp RUNNING CLINICS The clinics are well under way for the first of five sessions, but several people have approached me about continuing .

We' 11 stretch before and after and jog, NOT run, to the workout site. The class will be broken up into various pace groups, important that you make a c~itment to attend each week so that your pace-mates will have one another to work with and against in order to benefit from the workout. If you know in advance that you won't be able to attend a class, let us know. If you have any questions please see or call Guy (718-278-8 280). _ 3 _ �BUSINESS MEETINGS Two pussycats emerged from their usual hangouts to carefully inspect the three dozen or so FRs assembled at the (professorial ) digs of Lenore Becky for the March business meeting (Sue Foster see~d especially charmed.) Pussycats and FRs alike heard the following: Jim Skofield cata-lysted the developments in GPR preparation. Loose people interseted in running in the Trevira should contact Dan Del Monte or Julie Kelm. (Other interests? You're on your own.) The membership approved a $2,500 outlay on tickets for "As Is", the well-reviewed play about AIDS. After discusing the merits of purchasing a computer for the club, members decided to avoid cat-astrophe by forming a committee headed by Francis Brady to study the available options. Guy Zelenak reminded us of his speedwork clinics, in which he will catapult us to age group awards. Dan Del Monte discussed new N.Y. Marathon entry procedures, as well as how our computer will help us to cat-alogue our members' race results. Eagerly anticipating the perambulation s of the fashion show at Jason's, the members awoke from thei·r catnaps, ran cat-acombs through thier hair, and dispersed into the night!! FRs will have a second opportunity to sample the delights of 87th St. at the next business meeting, on April 24 at 9 PM after run and dinner, at the ho~ of Berney Kats oops, Kates & Dave Mose - 339 West 87th St. Lenore Becky (no catcalls, please.) THE 39 VEPS "It was a dark and stormy night ...• " Actually, it wasn't. On a cool, clear, springlike evening, 39 FRs, friends, dates, and a "nephew" attended the Ridiculous Theatrical Company's performance of "The Mystery of Irma Vep." The play, based loosely on a combination of "Wuthering Heights," "Rebecca," " J a n e Ey r e , " "Th e Mummy ' s Tomb " and 1o r d knows wh a t e 1 s e , 1e f t t he au d i en c e howling (at the moon) for more. Of particular interest to more than one member of the audience (including Yours Truly) was the technique that the two (count 'em, two) actors used in their quick-change routines in playing six major char a c t e r s . We a 1 1 know how e a s y i t i s t o get o u t o f o u r c 1 o t he s i n a f 1 as h , but to get into them again just as quickly is a social skill that, alas, so many of us have not acquired, even through years (and years) of practice. A good ti~ was had by all. Five brownie points to anyone who figured out that "Irma Vep" - an anagram of "vampire." (Thanks, Stan Scott, for that info.) Bruce Bates MUSEUM MILE & MORE Approximately 20 cultivated and fossil-loving FRs enrolled in the March 24th 6-mile tour of New York's more prominent museums. The group amassed at the Museum of Natural History in a setting designed to re-create the 2nd Ice Age. After huddling together for warmth (Andrew K. rushed to the center with arr1using alacrity) and a group photo including a computer - generated banner (compliments of Howard K.), the group began its moving and educational odyssey through the relics and antiquities of New York. Howard pointed out the landmarks with choreography and gestures reminiscent of Egyptian pharaoes (or maybe Divine). The occasional oasis stops were compliments of Tom S. After brunch and a farewell toast to Bob Lane, who is moving to Washington, DC, the group concluded this truly historic outing. DCL MASTERS For all you Masters athletes (thirty and over, actually) who've always wanted to throw hanners, put shots, run the 200M or do a steeplechase, the Toronto Masters Ga~s are taking place from August 11 to 25. (There are also a lOK road race, a marathon, and other track and field events.) Several of us (men and women) are planning to go, and if ~ might be interested in participating or want more info, call me for an application. Lenore Beaky NEW GAY THEATER GROUP Richard Foltz, a NYFR, is co-producing a new theater group called "Gay People Making Theater" for the Lesbian & Gay Community Center.

As in the past, this is our dress rehearsal for ALL GPR'85 volunteers - all ~and trained people PLUS anyone else wishing to work. We'll work all aspects of the race- from setup to the race itself and on through breakdown. It will also be necessary for us to provide three cars: (1) lead car with driver and spotter, (2) split-time r car with driver, and (3) trail or backup car with driver to follow the last runner. Also we, need one more key volunteer for women's heuer operator - training is necessary - plus people interested in being recorders, prechute pushers and a precursor. If you're interested in volunteeri ng for any of the above races or GPR volunteer positions please see or call Guy Zelenak (718-278-8 280). June 29th is coming up faster than you may realize, so please step forward and be a part of the excitement of the best race in Central Park. A FASHICN STATE/v\ENT With sho'MTlansh ip and style seldom achieved even by the fashion houses of St. Laurent, Oior or Armani, the ever-color ful Tom Cook donned shinmering rhinestone earrings to host the "faaaaaabu lous and stunnnnnni ng" spring exhibition of FRNY running gear at Jason's (hereafter known as Chez Jasone) on Saturday, March 23. With music provided by maestro George Schlein, the rather sophistica ted (albeit sweaty) audience was held captive - er, captivated - by the display of FR fashions past, present and future. Checkerbo ard tanktops were worn by those Muscle Motion ladies Julie, Nan and Anne. The perenniall y favorite white tank was displayed at its very best by the per en n i a 1 1 y favor i t e Mar t y P. , w i t h tv'C Tom r ema r k i n g t h a t " no c he s t i s too b road for a FR s h i r t • 11 Ap pea r i n g i nco g n i t a a s a b 1 on de bomb s he 1 1 ( w i t h a 1 i t t 1 e he 1p f r om a w i g a n d f a 1 s i e s ) , De b b i e W. c on v e r s e 1y p r o v e d t h a t 11 n o b r o ad i s t o o chesty for a FR shirt." Wearing "popsicle- colored" T-shirts and running shorts split up to the armpit were Nelson G. and Jim H. With the FRNY racing singlet pulled tightly over well-devel oped pees, the hirsute Joe C. gave new meaning to Italian fur. Following the tradition of the Stan More School of Color Clashing and Pattern-M ixing, Francis B. appropriat ely accessoriz ed that "Edsel of FR Fashion" - the discontinu ed baby blue and burgundy tee (designed by Bobby B.) -with a red bandana cap, green plaid shorts, socks of different colors, and shoes without a mate. Fetching, Francis, really fetching! Steve G. modeled the ever- popular (and ever-slinm ing, noted our NC) gay-gray tee, while Rick B. spoofed Tom's penchant for a vast array of pastels (I'm sure a FR shirt was somewhere underneath a 1 1 those co 1or s , but, for the 1 i f e of me, I can ' t remember which one!). In a dizzying dazzle of design, Gay Pride Run shirts from all our races were paraded down the runway. What fashion show is complete without a bridal number? While Howard K. flexed and preened beneath all-white runing gear, our MC quoted Miss Manners as saying "We have over the years somehow confused the tradition of wearing white for a first wedding and the purity of the body underneath ." And with a fanfare suitable for nothing less than a chief of state, the grand finale brought out three of our models to unveil the o f f i c i a 1 FRNY- memb e r s -on 1 y w i n db r e a k e r • Oo h ' s , a a h ' s , an d b i d s o f " t r e m i 1 i o n e lire, per favore" confirmed the stupendous success of the latest item in the Ferni (Italian for FRNY) collection and the incredible brilliance of the fashion show itself.

That evening over 300 people celebrated at our postrace party, and on Sunday over 100 menbers and friends marched in the parade. At our table at the Christopher St. Festival, shirts sold like hotcakes and many people took club literature. All in all, another great weekend for FRNY. Special thanks to Race Director Jim Skofield, Technical Director Bob Brins, Volunteer Coordinator Guy Zelenak and Program Director T.J. Storch, as well as all the volunteers. A full report on the race, including a financial statement, will be included in the August newsletter. GAY PRIDE RUN '85 The morning of the 4th annual Gay Pride Run dawned overcast and h um i d • Wi t h t emp e r a t u r e s i n t he m i d - 6 0 s a t t he s t a r t o f t he r ace , t he e v en t had cooler but substantially damper conditions than in any of the 3 previous years. A splendid field of over 950 entrants stretched, drank water, and glanced nervously at the overcast sky, which threatened rain. Commissioner Henry J. Stern of NYC Dept. of Parks & Recreation was on hand to start the race, which went off at 9:40AM. Aided by the cool weather, the lead pack went out at a blistering sub-5 minute pace with 19-year-old Jerode King of the Super Runners team in ·the lead. He was caught at the half-mile by Richard McNally of Warren Street Social and Athletic Club, and from then on the race belonged to the 26, year-old from NJ, who broke the finish line tape at 25:05, establishing a new race record, having built up a cannanding 2-minute lead over the second-place King. Edgart Sandoval of the West Side Y was the 3rd finisher. Meanwhile, a fierce battle for the women's title was unfolding between defending champion Sue Foster of FRNY and challenger Cheryl Wallace of the newly formed Philadelphia FRs. Exchanging places during the early miles of the race, Foster and Wallace battled back and forth up until the 4th mile, then Wallace's cannand of the final hill gave her the competitive edge she needed to break the finish line tape at 29:59, just seconds in front of Foster. Warren Street's Inga Sardo was the 3rd-place woman. As the middle and back-of-the-pack runners came over the finish line, the sun broke through the clouds and tired runners emptied out the chutes to enjoy Soho Soda, oranges, and watermelons and to exchange notes on hugs. The 140 volunteers helped to take the finish line apart as awards and prizes were given out, and crowds began to disperse at noon to attend ballgames, picnics and other outings. A very tired, very happy race director went home to take a nap but paused in order to write these notes, and to say thank you all for all of the racers and all the v~lunteers. It was a very special day for all of us • • • and a lot of pride was showing! THAN<S! Jim Skofield, GPR Race Director THANKS TO ALL GPR'85 VOLUNTEERS My deepest THANKS, as Director of Volunteers, for a job well done. If friends of yours, not FRs, volunteered please pass on the thanks. Yes, thanks to those of you who ran and yet got friends to work in your place. SPECIAL THANKS to Mickey Zacuto, Dave Logan, Dave Mose, Danny Hladik, Andy Curry, Bill Beenhouwer, Russ O'Hara, Howard Kessler, Andrew Khoo, Nelson Gonzalez, and Chris Frieman for coming out and giving up their free time to train, since January, for the key positions, and to Bill Bower for driving fran Pennsylvania just to drive the split car. Thanks also go to all of you who volunteer throughout the year. It is because of your help that keeps us in good standing with NYRRC and helps us obtain the equipment free of charge. THANK Y 0 U 0 N E & A L L! Guy Zelenak �A ~lED "THAN< YOJ" BEFORE THE HOTELS GO ON THE WARPATH. A very, very, vefy big and sincere "THAN< YOJ!" to all NYFRs who were kind enough to put up an out-of-town runner for GP weekend. I really appreciate your generosity. Leona Helmsley couldn't hold a candle to any of you. She better not, or FRNY would have it's own version of "Torch Song 11 ! All the arrangements went off with nary (or almost nary) a hitch. You all done good. And I'm keeping all your names for NEXT year, too! Bruce Bates BUSINESS MEETING About 50 FRs amassed in the newly restored and renovated brownstone of Steve Gerben and Bob Buckley for the June business meeting. Amidst the elegant, graceful, even theatrical surroundings, members heard from Jim Skofield about the multifarious final preparations for Gay Pride Run '85, and from Steve Gerben about the plans for the postrace picnic, Saturday party, Saturday AIDS march, and Sunday Gay Pride Parade on this, the weekend of our year. Dan Del Monte & Julie Kelm inspired the group for the Club Championship and Gay Pride Runs with tales of 11 special 11 accomplishments in Washington, DC and financial imbroglios in Warren Street. While listening to their pleas for more ma s t e r s - d i v i s i on r u nne r s , o n e ( n ew ) memb e r i n no c en t 1 y i n q u i r e d , 11 Who • s I n g e r ? 11 Guy Zelenak indicated that the speed clinics will continue on Thursdays, and Howard Kessler spoke of the special runs for July (see elsewhere in this issue). Richard Walker has tickets for the Human Rights Campaign Fund fundraising dinner. Finally, our fearless leader and shirt entrepreneur extraordinaire, Steve G., announced regretfully but firmly that he would not be running for re-election later this year and expressed the hope that -oTher FR members would consider seeking the post when the time comes. Next month's business meeting will be held at Lenore Becky's, 302 W. 87th St., #96, July 24 at 9 PM, after the run and dinner. Lenore Beaky "YOJ MAKE ME FEEL LIKE D.AI\ICII'G" An overflow croud of Gay Pride Runners and workers jammed Uncle Charlie's Village on GP Night to dance thier little tushies into the dawn. Jon Livingston made a rare after-dusk appearance and danced until his . size lls were melted down to 5s. Russell Redmond looked absolutely divine dancing with 2 redheads (decisions, decisions!). Nan Bailey danced with everyone (so politically correct, as always). Julie Kelm and Dan Del Monte did their version of the 11 Race Captain Hustle 11 (but not with each other).

(Hey, for next year's race. Maybe we could put the Pointer Sisters in the lead car, or at least pipe some music along the course.) Anyway, a good time was had by all. It was a good warmup for the march the next day. Bruce Bates FRNY DIRECTORY SUPPLEMENT A supplement to the Membership Directory, listing new members, will go out with the August mailing.

Rick Buckheit BLACK TIE OR EVENING GOWN, YOUR CHOICE Mark your calendar and start saving your dollars now for the annual Human Rights Campaign Fund dinner at the Waldorf on October 9, 1985. The Campaign Fund is a political action cannittee that contributes to the election of legislators who support lesbian and gay rights. The $200 ticket gives you the opportunity to hobnob with politicos, take a $50 tax credit (your last chance if Reagan's new tax proposal passes), and- most importantly - make a very real contribution in the fight for our right. NEWSLETTER ENTRIESneed to be in no later than at the monthly business meeting. -2- �FRNY ' CLINICS Once again by request we will be conducting the speed clinics for those interested. This session will last for seven weeks, running through the last Thursday of August. DO NOT let the word 11 speed 11 intimidate you; we break up into smaller groups, each of which consists of people who run at approximately the same pace (you can move yourself up or back depending on where you feel you fit each week). Also, the number of intervals is adjusted according to each group. Therefore, you should try to make a commitment to attend as regularly as possible so that your group knows that they will have you to work with (a group must consist of at least two in order to get the best results). We do two different types of workouts: 1) Power~ 85% of your top speed to full out, depending on the distance of the day's workout, and 2) Rhythm - a slower pace at which each person in his/her individual group runs in a close pack, thereby working as a team. During this hot, humid weather the majority of the clinics will be done as a rhythm and you may not feel you are improving; but if done properly, when the cooler weather sets in you should notice the benefits of your efforts. People who have attended the past two series on a regular basis have been seeing PRs: Nancy 0., Bill R., Dave M., Barney K., Russell R., Bob R., DesK., Rick B., Dave W., Andrew K., Lee A. and several who just started or have been unable to attend as regularly, all have felt improvement. Hope to see more of you out with us. The classes will continue every Thursday at 7 PM. July 18 . . . Tavern . . • . . Cat Hill (East Drive just North of 72nd Street) July 25 Tavern . . . . .

Like any worthy sagged briefly with each "Oh, our Broadway production, the "Broadway Beat" attracted a substantial following: numbers more than doubled as we threaded our way from one end of Manhattan to the other. Our route took us past such eclectic landmarks as Trinity Church, Reverend · Ike's Sunday Meeting House, Columbia University, American Bartending and School, lobar's, Volunteers of America Soup Kitchen, the City Squire Inn, the Sunshine Hotel on the Bowery. Our athletic efforts were duly rewarded when we reached Zacuto's Tompkins Square Cafe, where we were provided with a fare (However, the lack of an elevator to reach the epicurean runner. suitable for Mickey's fifth-floor apartment made it apparent why few events are held on the Lower East Side.)

THE WILD AND WOOLLY West Side Adventure Sunday 6/23, began at Grant's Tomb with approx. 20 FRs gathering to explore some of the West Side's famous and notso-famous attractions.

Howard was careful to make sure that we climbed every hill on the way (warm up for next month's long run, which is reported to have a brute near the end), We then ran down West End Ave. to the old West Side Highway with a couple ·of water stops en route thanks to Lee.

Congrats to Dave Mose for his 1st individual award in the recent team event in N.J., where he ran better than a 5.5 m.p.m. pace! In that race, all 10 FRs had PRs! We wish to correct a couple of errors/omissions from last month: Dave Weir ran the L.I. Marathon in 2:59:12, which we cannot fail to mention, albeit late. Jim Skofield reminds us that he ran with his T r e v i r a Two s orre p a r t n e r a t 1 : 3 3 : 2 6 , n o t 1 : 14 : 50 a s i n d i c a t e d .

Our N.J. team was the 1st of these, and our FR team placed 5th overall in a very competitive field. Curious about joining the next team? Let me know. 212-496-7662 Danny CONGRATULATIONS to Desmond Kelly, Joe Criscione, Manuel Gonzalez, James Schmidt, and Joe Piliero for their team coming in 1st place, special category, at the Washington Urban League Run 5/19.

Julie FRONT RUNNERS STOMP PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR On Sunday, June 10, 9 FRs PATHed to the Ironbound section of Newark to compete as a club team in the 8th Annual Portugal Day lOK Race. This effort res~lted in all 9 members establishing 10K personal records on the flat, extremely fast course, with Dave Mose capturing the eighth-place medal in the open age group with a phenomenal 33:54 time. As a club, we placed fifth in a highly competitive field, with Marty Perl, Joe Criscione, Bob Richert, and Jon Livingston rounding out our five scorers. We would like to thank those who took the time to participate in the race- Russell Redmond, Leo Boneau, T.J. Storch and Vernon Cooper also present and accounted for - allowing us to represent FRs in a New Jersey race. It is hoped that in the future FRs will venture out to more suburban races, which generally offer smaller fields, unfamiliar courses, and an opportunity to get out in the country - they don't call Jersey the Garden State for nothing! Please contact either of us for further information on upcoming events and entry blanks if interested. Bob Richert (201-653-7463) or Vernon Cooper (201-790-6183). Bob R. RUNNING MONOLOGUE He ruled the race with noble pride, with Tim, Guy and Bob; His clever charms made us do his will, with just the slightest prod; From the starting horn, past the finish 1 ine, he orchestrated the mob; What more can we say, dear Jim, than, you did a damn good job! Kessler L'EGGS BRUNCH Attendance at the brunch broke all records. I counted at least 40 FR women and friends. That is definitely a "PR." A warm welcome to the new members who joined that day, as well as those who joined since. It was also fun seeing FR women who haven't been able to run with us that often. We look forward to seeing all of you at our fun runs, and you only have yourselves to blame for missing THE events of the Summer.

Last year over 250 members either worked at or ran in the race. What better way to help your club and to make your own personal statement on this most important weekend, than by participating as a volunteer or a runner in GPR'85? Show your support by making every effort to be out there on June 29 for this unique event. GAY PRIDE RUN '85 Four weeks from Gay Pride Run, and the Race Task Force is sweating hard and thinking about the kick to the finish. Final arrangements for the trophies, racing numbers, and Racers' and Volunteers' T-Shirts have been made, and plans for the actual race day are being made final with the Department of Parks and Recreation and the NYRRC. Much remains to be done, however. Front Runners who have been working on the RACE PROGRAM by contacting contributors and advertisers should make their final drive so that the program can meet its press deadline. Come across with the goods and call T.J. Storch at 201-659-6542. VOLUNTEERS are still needed for the race, Volunteer Director Guy Zelenak will be happy to sign you up. Give him a buzz at 718-278-8280. Remember, even if you are planning to race, you can ask a friend (even a non-running one!) to work the day of the race. Each volunteer gets a fabulous T-shirt and a chance to give attitude to some very tired people at the finish-line. Help is also needed on the Thursday and Friday before the race. Fruit (both kinds) & registration materials need to be picked up on Thursday, and a "stuffing" party on Thursday evening will segue nicely into the actual race registration on Friday. To volunteer for that good time, call me at 799-2603. We are currently running slightly behind last year in terms of the number of race applications received. I wish to make an appeal to the membership for each person to ask just one non-member to run the race (new runners and walkers weclome!) If each of us does that, we may well reach our goal of breaking the 1,000-runner barrier. PLEASE HELP! Contributions to the race are also more than welcome. Finally: the Christopher Street soliciting biz & passing out applications to the race. The fun begins around 1:00PM & you are invited. Strong legs, winning smiles & sarcasm a must. Do come. Jim Skofield, GPR'85 Race Director' HELP! GPR'85 VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED We 'll need 120 volunteers, and to date we have only 30. Please step forward. I f you're running, get a friend to volunteer; even if you are working, mayb e you have friends who would like to be a part of the event. REMEMBER, volunteers get an official shirt and are eligible for the drawings. Let's not have a repeat of what happened at our last, and I do mean LAST, dress rehearsal -- L'eggs Tune-Up: we needed 75 volunteers and only came up with 34, so NYRRC has taken it out of our hands as a future rehearsal for GPR. Volunteering is f un. Volunteering for GPR places you in the drawing and gets you a shirt; doing so for NYRRC will get you a shirt in most cases and a FREE entry to any non-invitational NYRRC race for every three races you work. I have issued several of the certificates to FRs. To volunteer call or see Guy (718-278-8280) HELP! It's less than a month until Gay Pride Run, and we are desperately seeking accommodations for out-of-town runners. Anyone who can spare a room, couch, or other sleeping arrangement is urged to contact Bruce Bates at Bruce Bates 718-847-2275. From your mouth to my ear. �PARADE & FESTIVAL Sunday, June 30, is Gay & Lesbian Pride Day, and FRNY will again be participating in the day's activities. The parade steps off at noon from Columbus Circle (59th St. & CPW) and goes downtown via Fifth Avenue to the rally site on West St. We'll again be marching as a group, carrying our START banner from the race, and you can further identify yourself as a FR by wearing a club shirt. We'll also have a table at the Christopher St. Festival, where we'll distribute club literature and sell shirts. Volunteers are needed to help out at the table. Hours are from around noon to about 9 PM, so cane down anytime and stay as long as you like. This is the weekend of the year for our community, so come and share it with your frien~in FRNY. FRCM FINISH LINE TO PARTY TINE/FRCM RU\NING SHOES TO DANCING SHOES Once again, Gay Pride Run is upon us. This year, as always, there will be a PARTY! PARTY! PARTY! at Uncle Charlie's Village, Christopher & West Streets, from 8:00 PM to whenever. Free admission and one free drink to all race entrants, volunteers, FRs, & guests. Just present your FRNY ID card or running number at the door for you and your guests. Director Jim Skofield has promised an encore performance of last year's version of 11 Fleshdance. 11 Bruce Bates COMMUNITY SERVICES CENTER GARDEN PARTY On Monday, June 24, beginning at 6:00PM, the Lesbian & Gay Community Services Center will be holding its second annual fundraiser at the Center, 208 W. 13th St. The event, which includes a buffet dinner and dancing for $25.00 (plus a cash bar), will also mark the beginning of Pride Week in NYC. Community organizations have been invited to send representatives, and FRNY will again have an information table. This is our Center, so come out and show your support by attending. See Steve Gerben for tickets or more information, or call the Center at 212-620-7310. BUSINESS MEETING Certainly, one of the highlights of the May 22nd business meeting held at Julie Keirn's apartment was the announcement, greeted by a suitably fervent chorus of applause and cheers, by Lenore Beaky of her 1st agegroup trophy. There were, however, other highlights, and they included the following: three kinds of cakes and brownies, prepared and presented by the aforementioned Ms. Kelm, who also distributed trophies to the men's team for their performance at Runners Love Brooklyn; nudges from Dan Del Monte for people to run the Club Championship on June 22; much from Jim Skofield for volunteers and more runners for GPR'85; and Bruce Bates for FRs willing (anxious?) to put up out-of-town FRs in town for the race. Steve Gerben reminded us of a fun run scheduled before the Gay Pride Parade on June 30th, and Guy Zelenak expressed pleasure with the steady attendance at his speed clinics. The meeting climaxed (so to speak) with a rousing response fran the baseball jocks to the news of a possible group expedition to Shea Stadium July 19th to see the Mets defeat Atlanta. The next business meeting will be held at 9 PM on June 19th, after the run and dinner, at Steve Gerben and Bob Buckley's house, 52 W. 85th St., #1R. TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME? FRs will be making a trip to Shea Stadium on Friday, July 19th, to watch the NY Mets play the Atlanta Braves. Game time is 8 PM so give up one evening of the opera or ballet and come out and have a ball watching the all-American butch pastime, baseball. Tickets are $7.50.

Rick Buckheit ON THE NATIONAL FR RACING CIRCUIT Besides our own Gay Pride Run on June 29, a number of other FR clubs will be holding their own races in the weeks ahead. If you plan to be on the road, you might be interested in participating. Following is a list of cities and race dates. For further information call Steve Gerben. San Diego Saturday June 8 Washington, DC Saturday June 15 Los Angeles Sunday June 16 Portland Sunday June 23 Minneapolis Saturday June 29 Chicago Sunday June 30 San Francisco Sunday July 14 -2- �FLEET FOOT ADVENTURE TOURS Presents: (aprox. 5.5Mi) THE WILD AND WOOLLY WEST SIDE ADVENTURE 6/23/85 After the Near and Far East tours, it is the manifest destiny of our club to take the call "Go West, young ••• person." In the same spirit of exploration, we shall discover the West Side from new vantage points. Some of the sights that will be seen are the Hudson River before Lincoln West destroys the view; the underside of the last section of the old West Side Highway; the dock where, if you had a car, it would be towed; passenger liners, when in season; the Intrepid, from when battle was beautiful; the Circle Line, a slow boat to nowhere; and the Day Line- take the boat and leave the sailing to us. Finally, we will tour the historic West Side Highway battlefield, one of the longest and most expensive battles in history without a drop of spilt blood, only spitting blood. The tour will end up at the Great Hall of Palms at The Spike for brunch. The tour will begin on the steps of Grant's Tomb (Riverside Dr. and 122nd St.) at 11:00 AM. ( 13. 1 M) SIDE TOUR - THE WESTQ-iESTER HALF MARATH<l\1 Please call me at 212-873-0517 to get a group going. 6/9/85 Howard Kessler TOUR THE NEAR EAST Sunday, April 28, provided the kind of weather runners dream about, with a surfeit of sun and a minimum of humidity. Why such a small handful of FRs? Many explanations abound. I submit that, having lost an hour due to the change to daylight savings time, many FRs had to choose between the sun and their hairdresser! Enough said. Before the start, Firth Whitehouse noted the soles of my marathon trainer shoes, referring to them as "the frogs." Howard Kessler coined the name "Ben Hur" shoes because they reminded him of the spikes on the wheels of the chariots in that movie. Madame la Presidente Gerben said they look "deadly." Needless to say, everyone kept his/her distance from me -more so than usual, that is. At The Spike we received expert service from FR Wayne Cato, who took our "Oh waitress! More coffee please" in stride. Maybe next time Wayne can get us an extra piece of toast. Special thanks to Nancy Oates for driving the baggage car and managing the water station at the halfway point. Nelson G ••• AND LEAVE THE DRIVING TO US On Friday, May 17, 40 intrepid FRs boarded thier chartered camp-mobile for their weekend excursion to Washington, DC. Threatening skies turned into a deluge, giving at least one person (moi) conniptions about the weekend weather. However, by the time we arrived in Dupont Circle the rain had settled down to a minor drizzle, leaving hope for the morrow. Within minutes of disembarking we all dispersed to our respective, (respectable?) hosts/hostessess, complete with itineraries and subway maps. Kudos to John Humphrey of DCFR for his marvelous efficency in getting things organized. Saturday dawned sunny and warm, a portent of the rest of the weekend. At 10 AM we gathered on the Mall for our 1st fun run, which gave us a passing glance at some of DC's numerous attractions (some of which were of the two-legged variety). The afternoon was free time, giving us time to visit some museums or do some mauling on the Mall. Of particular interest was a group of Marines sunning themselves, leaving JS and BNE ready to enlist. Dinner at Herb's was spent getting to know the DC and Philadelphia members and discussions on the "one that got away." (NB, next time, use live bait.) Dinner was followed by dancing or bar hopping. Sunday morning there were two events -- a 15K race sponsored by the DC Urban League and, as an alternative, a 3.5 M fun run. Since I did the fun run I cannot, alas, give a report on the race. The afternoon was an encore of Saturday, sans Marines. At 6 PM we gathered at Dupont Cir. to wait for the bus. And waited. And waited. Due to a slight technical error, the bus was listed not under "Front Runners" but under my name and was waiting for us on the other side of the Plaza. The snafu was finally resolved and 40 FRs bid goodbye to our DC & Philadelphia counterparts. Bruce Bates -3- �A DAY IN THE SUN On May 4 several FR wanen voyaged out to the beaches, parks and highways of Long Island in order to run the Long Island Half Marathon the following morn. The agenda was full and the canpetition began early. FR extraordinaire Inger Berger provided us with a splendid opportunity to carbo-load before the race, thereby stimulating a contest between Lenore Becky and Joan Brown for champion pigger-outer on pastasaladbreadcookies. (Are there age-group awards?) This duel paled into insignificance when 11 hot-pins 11 Julie Kelm who, vanquished (and bankrupted) all present by her daring and astute play at high-low poker. To inspire us for the next day's run, we were given a view of Inger's trophy room, wherein reside a veritable plethora of plaques, medals, ribbons, dozens of trophies, and a cup from GPR'84. Inger herself bested us all in the race by running twice as far: she did the whole marathon! Lastly, Elin Posner demonstrated her considerable skills at postrace recovery by finally locating her own car. Lenore Becky SUCCESS IN THE SUN Weather forecasters thought they could count on rain when they heard FRNY was sponsoring the semiannual Meet-the-Membership Run on May 5. And were we glad they were wrong - for the first time since we've held these runs! Over 125 FRs gathered to run and bask in the sun with fellow club members. Thirty captains led fun runs of various mileages and paces, with Tom Cook's group running a fashionable 11 8-ish 11 pace. And while the picnic afterwards might not have put Balducci's or lobar's to shame, the spread of food and bodies was magnificent to behold. For all the Front Runners turning a year older that week, the frosting on the cake, so to speak, was a birthday treat, baked by Firth Whitehouse and Betty Crocker (now you know what's cookin' in the kitchen with Betty). So, with a tremendously successful Meet-the-Membership Run completed, you can now pray for rain to ease this drought - until Gay Pride Weekend, of course.

SPEED CLINIC ATTENDANCE It seems to me that there are a number of people in this club who continually express interest in Guy's running clinics yet rarely attend them. I don't attend every clinic, but I really expected more people to show up on May 9th. There was a group of about ten people with only one woman. With so many FRs doing races, one would think there would be a large number who'd want to try to improve their times. Guy's clinics really do help improve strength and endurance when properly approached. These are not fun runs. They're hard work that will pay off in faster and better running. You don't need to be a six- or seven-minute miler to benefit from the clinics. Guy's workouts are adaptable to a wide range of paces. So come out next Thursday for a fun workout with other dedicated runners.

I would also like to take this opportunity to assure everyone that, contrary to public opinion, the drawing was not fixed. It is true that the donation of the dinner for two was arranged by the catering sales representative of Greene Street, Carl Lorenzen, who just happens to be Treasurer of the A.R.E.A. Committee. And it is true that the numbers were read off by the Gay Pride Run Race Director, Jim Skofield, who, aside from doing a first-rate job in that position, has been doing a yeoman's work for the A.R.E.A. Committee Task Force as well. And it is true that the last two winning numbers called out fell directly after and directly before the number held by Terry Fister, the Secretary of A.R.E.A., and who I felt bound by the Fickle Finger of Fate to join me in this destined dinner of - culinary delight. I realize that you, dear reader, must feel that with all these bizarre coincidences connecting the winning meal with THE AMERICAN RUN FOR THE END OF AIDS, there had to be some serious gay graft going on. But, I reply, I can only say that it was a case of KARMIC KISMET. And so, as the FAIRIES OF GOOD FORTUNE would have it, on March 28 Terry and I were indeed treated to a dream of a dinner. From the beautiful decor and ambiance of Greee Street, to the spectacular wonders of the kitchen and the wine cellar - it exceeded even the most imaginative connoisseur's fantasy. Among the many epicurean ecstasies we experienced were leek and celery root souffle, poached salmon in sorrel sauce with scallops and artichoke hearts, and for dessert - white chocolate mousse with a luscious raspberry sauce! I broke training with one of the house's finest champagnes, and Carl joined us in a toast to Green Street -a gourmet's ElDorado (and a runner's Rubicon!). Brent Nicholson Earle RUNNING MONOLOGUE In my February column I mentioned that brunch for the Sunday Short Runs would be held at the Great Hall of Palms at The Spike. Many FR men and women have joined here in the past for a club get-together with a rather fine meal in that unusual, though somewhat altered, atmosphere. Some of us read between the palms with the absence of tables to see the darkened room as it is, as it was. Let me set a scene a number of years back when the West Side Highway was still a cover over a parking lot of trailers. The ambient sounds were made up of traffic overhead and the docking of ships just a few hundred yards away. The pigeonholes that the Gay Male slid into were: the woman hiding in the man, the homosexual in the man, and the hanosexual hiding. The latter two groups might have gone to "the theater of self-expression," where The Spike and The Eagle were the backdrops. The costumes were repertory leather and denim. At the time, they were exclusively part of this corner of the Island. They were part of a production of dream plays . The performers were artists, doctors, lawyers, clerks, etc. What could not be expressed on the outside could be accepted as the norm here. For some this was more true than a lie they might be performing on the other side of this stage's door. Here each player created his own scripts and improvised with the scripts of others. The object was to develop a character that was unusual and yet sexually believable. Only those who were locked into their character like a clown unable to remove his makeup were to be truly feared. Real men of "rough trade" wore a smile beneath the snarl. The Spike was a true community center and played host to gay theater with scripts by Robert Patrick and others. It also offered movies, parties, and buffet brunches and became the social club for many "out and coming out." We, too, have become another group who find ourselves meeting within these walls. The past several years have seen the end of the shipping, the piers, the highway, and parked trailers and have given me cause to spend my free time writing scripts rather than performing them. I am now only seen here when the palms are in bloom, but I still have a warm spot for the smell of the grease and the corps in the crowd.

V I , No • 5 FROM STEVE GERBEN Members in attendance at the monthly business meeting on April 24 were treated to a rare event, a contentiou s issue, namely, the decision of the Board of Directors (and affirmed by a large majority of the members present) to limit the sale of the new club windbreak er to members only. One of the points raised by those against restrictin g its sale was that this, in some way, makes us seem exclusive or elitist. I feel that I must cannent on this point. The only requiremen ts for membership in FRNY are completion of a membership applicatio n form and the payment of membership dues. That•s it. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to join and, in addition, nonmembers are welcome to run with us, dine with us, socialize with us, and are even welcome at our business meetings. To say that we are somehow being exclusive or elitist because we choose to 1 imit to members only the sale of a particular item of club running gear out of 13 items available (besides, of course, o~r racing singlets) is, I think, a bit unfair. FRNY has always been, and continues to be, open to anyone who wishes to join and enjoy all the benefits offered by club membershi p. Also, I must apologize for some of the confusion regarding the windbreak er on the new Mail Order Form. In making up the Form, I inadverten tly omitted the restrictio n on the sale of the windbreak er. That has now been corrected - sorry f o r t he c on f u s i on .

After passing through our familiar Central Park haunt and a sleepy Upper East Side, we enjoyed a spectacular runner's-eye view of Manhattan from the Triboro Bridge. After stopping for water on Randall's Island, we pressed on to Queens, where another half-dozen FRs joined in for the East part of the run. Much to the amusement of the natives, we treaded our way through a variety of Queens' neighborhoods, eventually arr1v1ng at the Criscione/Boneau homestead. A new standard of culinary excellence was set by Leo's brunch. After feasting on such exotic fare as peach soup, Leo's special French toast and the Spring's first ambrosia, the group dispersed. Special thanks to hosts Joe and Leo and to Howard Kessler for another terrific run. Anonymus EARLY ONE SUNDAY MORNING On April 14 about 20 of us made our way across the 5 9 t h S t. B r i d g e , wh i c h wa s t he f i r s t I e g o f t he i n f amo u s " To u r t he Mi d - E a s t " Long Run. We passed through sleepy neighborhoods quaintly situated under the Flushing elevated line, and then turned toward Shea Stadium for the remaining leg of our 12.5-mi journey. While most chose the scenic route, a tour around Corona Park, Rick and I lagged behind to check out the fetal pig in the Hall of Science. Then at that internationally acclaimed hot spot "chez Tom," chef Tom and sous-chef Robert created a delicious chi! i-and-salad brunch. Ms. Entenmann provided the dessert. The afternoon was complete when we were joined by the queens of the Queens half-marathon. A good time was had by all. Firth Whitehouse WOMEN'S BRUNCHES Despite a small turnout, the group who brunched at Nan Bailey's had quite a celebration, which included admiring Sue Foster's winning trophy. Nan always wanted a trophy on her mantelpiece, even if only for the afternoon. Thanks to Nan for having brunch, and congradulations also to Nancy Oates, who won a trophy, and everyone else who ran. The next brunch will be held after the L'eggs Mini Marathon, on June 1, at 752 West End Ave. (West End & 97th St.), Apt. 4G, 222-2558. Please bring yourselves, your friends, and any other spectators to this $2 chip-in event. See you there. Connie Knapp -4- �FRNY CLINICS The clinics will be held once again, by request, in preparation for GPR'85 or any other race you are planning to run. These interval workouts improve your running style and prepare you to set PRs. The classes will be conducted every Thursday at 7 PM SHARP for the next 8 weeks, starting May 2. May 2 - NYRRC - 3/4-mile intervals (97th Street Oval) May 9- Tavern- Cat Hill (Boat Basin on East Drive north of 72nd Street) May 16 - NYRRC- 1-mile intervals (Great Lawn) May 23 - NYRRC- Fartlek [Swedish for speed play] (90th Street & Fifth Avenue) May 30- NYRRC- 9lst Street Hill ( between 2nd & 3rd Avenues - closed to traffic) June 6 - NYRRC- 880s (Great Lawn) June 13 - NYRRC - 1-mile intervals (marathon mile 23/24 - approx. 84th to 102nd) June 20- ? -440s* (renovated 440 track near Houston Street and the East River) *Good suggestion by Rick Buckheit; final decision to be made by participants. Bags can be checked at NYRRC (lobby, 9 East 89th Street) for $.25 and at the 63rd St. West Side Y (Gym Store through the arches in the main lobby) for $.50. GUY'S NEW SPEED CLINIC starts Thursday May 2 and ends June 20 a week before GPR. Personally, I think the training is challenging and invigorating for the novice as well as the advanced runner. Lenore Biaky and Nancy Oates have demonstrated the practical aspects of these workouts. So anyone interested, come meet at Road Runners at 7:00PM for a stimulating experience. Julie Keirn GWA SUCCESS Julie Keirn, Sue Foster and Lenore Beaky took our slide show on the road to the Gay Women's Alternative. They were a smashing success, and Lenore returned with 7 filled-in membership applications; now all we need are the women to go with them! In true FR style, they wowed them with stories of friendship, running and food. I think the membership applications may be the result of the "I met my lover in FRs" line that Anne Corey kept insisting they use during the slide show. Whatever it was, congratulations to all of you, and a special thanks from me to Julie, who took my place on very short notice when I couldn't go.

As you can see from reading the newsletters, there are many areas where you can help in the planning and implementation of club activities. Remember, the club is the sum of its parts, which means you, so let's all try to realize the full potential of the club for all its members by getting involved. WELCOME TO FRNY! Enclosed with this mailing is a copy of a letter which has been made up by our Public Relations Committee to be given to all new members when they join the club. As you can see, it describes the activities of the club and provides names and telephone numbers of officers and committee chairpersons. This letter is meant as a way to welcome new members and encourage them to become involved in club activities. Please keep it as a means of reference for yourself. GAY PRIDE RUN '85 Planning for our June 29th annual race is now in full swing. After not a little hair pulling and some bitter tears, the Design Committee has selected a logo by NYFR Joe Piliero for use on the T-shirt and other race-related advertising. Congratulations to Joe and thanks to the other 5 artists - Leo Boneau, Howard Kessler, Debby Pastrich, Russell Redmond, and Pamela Tewes who also submitted designs. Joe and Design Chairperson Jon Livingston are now working on the mechanicals for our ads and race application form. T-shirt colors have not yet been decided ••• any truth, Jon, to the rumor that shocking pink and pea green are the current front runners? Our Fundraiser/Disco will be held on Saturday, March 23, at Uncle Charlie's Village (see the flyer in this mailing). A drawing will be held for a fabulous doorprize (no, I'm sorry, it's neither Francis Brady nor Claudette Furlonge), and Social Events Chairperson Bruce Bates has volunteered to auction himself off to the highest bidder (spare change, anyone?). Do come and participate; the Fundraiser is one of our major sources of income for the race. Circle the date on your calendar and shine up your dancing shoes. Now that we're starting to spend money on race-related necessities, members' contributions towards GPR'85 will be heartily welcomed. Give generously, write it off on your next year's taxes, and sleep peacefully throughout the night, no? Program Director Tim Storch (201-6596542) is now putting together the sponsorship kits to be used in our campaign to solicit ads for the GPR'85 Program. Intrepid NYFRs who can look a gay businessperson in the eye and come away with a full-page ad pledge are encouraged to lend their tcdents to Tim. Technical Director Bob Brins and Director of Volunteers Guy Zelenak are both hard at work breaking in our crack new team of finishline volunteers. The glamorous "key" positions are going very fast; those interested in getting on the team should contact Guy (718-278-8280) or Bob (249-1619) pronto. A healthy bribe would not hurt. In a recent meeting with NYRRC's Marilyn Shaw, Guy, Bob, and myself worked out a 6-race schedule of events at which volunteers will be working in preparation for our own race. First up is the Perrier IOK on Saturday, March 30 (see Guy's schedule on p. 2 for further details). New members of the "Finish Line of 120 Stars" include: Bill Beenhouwer (a seasoned veteran whose fast fingers on the heuer have never failed to dazzle even the most jaded finish-line worker), Nelson Gonzalez & Chris Frieman ("Speedy" & "Bootsy" to their intimates on the Selects team), Jeff Guasco (swing that lead rope, watch those hips), David Logan & Mickey Zacuto (the perista~sis twins in their current incarnation as chute captains), Russ "Rock of Ages" O'Hara (the recording supervisor to-be-obeyed), and the winsome twosome of Dan Hladik & Andy Curry as the ones who score the most. Don't delay; volunteer today. You might even win (as Andrew Khoo just did) an unmentionaple item . of finish-line finery • • • Finally, if - by any chance - the first breezes of spring stir up a vague, restless urge inside of you to do some volunteer work (in spring a young gay's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of volunteer work), please do, by all means, call me at 799-2603. Suppressed urges spoil the complexion and may be a major cause of heterosexuality. --Jim Skofield, GPR'85 Race Director �GPR'85 & NYRRC RACE VOLUNTEERS Jim, Bob, and I met with Marilyn Shaw at NYRRC to go over the races she felt would be suitable for training us to work GPR'85. Please make a note of them: Sat., March 30 - Perrier IOK (report at I0 AM; 30 FRNY volunteers, including key people) Sat., April 20 - Police/Firefighters (report 9 AM; 50+ volunteers needed, including key people & anyone wishing to work GPR or not) This race will be almost totally operated by FRNY. Sat., April 27 - Trevira Twosome (report at 9:30 AM; key people plus others needed) Sun., May 12 - L'eggs Tune-Up (Mother's Day; report at 9 AM; at least 75 volunteers needed) As in the past, this is our dress rehearsal for ALL GPR'85 volunteers - all key and trained people plus anyone else wishing to work. We' II work on all aspects of the race - from setup, to the race itself, through breakdown. It will also be necessary for us to provide three cars: (I) lead car, driver, & spotter, (2) split timer car & driver, and (3) trailer or backup car & driver to follow the last runner. Sat., June I - L 'eggs Mini Marathon (report 9:30 AM; key people plus others needed) Sun., June 16 - 4-Mile Race (Father's Day; report at 9 AM; key people a must- last time before GPR) Thanks from the Task Force to all the key people who've started training early. You're all doing a great job. There are some finish-line jobs still open that will need previous experience, so if you're not running GPR'85, be a part of the excitement and volunteer. Thanks. --Guy Zelenak (718-278-8280) IT'S COMING! After a long gestation, our new windbreaker is expected to make its debut in midMarch. The zippered, poly/cotton blend jacket, in silver gray, will have our racing singlet logo in black and magenta on the front and back, and it comes in men's and women's sizes for $35. It's a smashing addition to the FR line, and we know you will all want one. As this purchase represents a large outlay of funds, please send in a check as soon as possible to reserve yours. As this was the same logo and ink used on our nylon racing singlet, we took the opportunity to order a few of these at $14. We're also making up an illustrated mail order form of all our running gear to facilitate ordering by mail. This will be ready shortly and included in a future mailing. STORMY WEATHER, DOWNPOURS, OR DIZZLE (The last a newly coined word courtesy of Sue Foster) We will not be dissuaded from our semiannual Meet-the-Membership Run! Despite wet weather of varying degrees for our 1984 M-t-M Runs, we'll be hosting the Spring 1985 edition on Saturday, May 4, at 10 AM. Barring monsoons, a bring-your-own picnic will follow in Central Park. Captains (from the group of you regulars out there) will lead subgroups on runs of I to 6 miles and at all paces. Mark your calendars for this great opportunity to meet your fellow (meant as nongender specific, of course) FRs for a day of fun and frolic - in sunny weather, we hope! --Richard Walker BYLAWS AMENDMENT PASSED The ballots for the proposed bylaws amendment were counted at the Feb. 20 business meeting. This amendment, dealing with club finances, was overwhelmingly approved and will be incorporated into the bylaws. For a copy of the new bylaws, call Guy Zelenak. BUSINESS MEETINGS Upwards of 40 FRs consumed Julie .Keirn's brownies & oatmeal-raisin cooki~s and were entertained (tolerated?) by her cats at the February meeting. For the foreseeable future, the club will be enveloped in a kaleidoscopic phantasmagoria of social activities: everything from discoing & fundraising & playing & tripping (DC, that is) to speedworking & shortrunning & longrunning & getting ready for our own GPR (whew!). Speaking of which, Jim Skofield displayed the winning race logo and praised the many FRs who've responded with alacrity to the opportunity of working our race. After bylaws-amendment ballot counting (59-1 ), Dan Del Monte informed us that the computerization of race results will put all our performances (~ performances, that is) on record back to 1979; as this announcement sank in, an unaccustomed pensiveness spread over the assembled group, a pensiveness soon dispelled by the hope that Guy's upcoming speed clinics will rapidly push us toward the horizon of faster & faster race times. /// The next business meeting will be on March 20 at 9 PM, after the run and dinner, at Lenore Beaky's abode, 302 W. 87th St., 1196. --Lenore -2- �''LET'S RUN AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND!" "CAPITOL IDEA!" The joint Social Committees of FRNY and DCFR are pleased to announce that, yes, once again it's time for that springtime favorite, the annual let's-freeload-on-Washington-in-May-before-they-free load-on-us-in-June excursion (sort of a reverse quid-pro-quo). Joining us this year will be a contingent of Philly FRs. After much longdistance negotiation (thank God for Sprint, where you can reach out and nag someone for 60% of NY Tel's price), a mutually agreeable time has been arranged. So pack up your old (makeup) kit bag and get ready to run our dear old friends in DC ragged. Date: May 17-19, 1985 (you were expecting maybe 1986?). Cost: $30 per person (round-trip bus). Stay tuned for further info. --Bruce Bates LOVE MATCH, OR TENNIS ANYONE? (What a racket!) Having outdone ourselves recently at the Mobil Track & Field Championships (and we were just spectating!), the Social Committee is pleased to announce that, on March 23, we can once again give our vocal support to fellow athletes: 25 tickets to the Virginia Slims Championships Singles Semifinals and Doubles Finals have been purchased. Price: $17.00. Date: Saturday, March 23. Place: Madison Square Garden. Time: 1:00PM. First checks to the FRNY address get the tickets. FORE! (Sorry, wrong game.) --Bruce Bates FELLOW FR MAKES GOOD - PLAY PRODUCED BY CIRCLE REP. On Friday, March 29, a large group of FRs and friends will see "As Is," a new play by NYFR William M. Hoffman. The play is being co-produced by The Glines and Circle Repertory Theatre and features Jonathan Hadary of "Torch Song Trilogy" fame. "As Is" is about a gay couple living in NYC dealing with the health crisis. Already 61 of us have ordered tickets, and additional tickets are still available; but call Joel lfcher (212-678-4386) without delay. All those who've ordered tickets should send in $25 per ticket to FRNY as soon as possible. Come and bring your friends- 10% of the ticket price will be donated to GMHC. NEWSLETTER CONTRIBUTIONS The FRNY Newsletter is composed of articles written by members of the club. Participation is very welcome and beneficial to everyone. Submit your pieces to any officer, but please do it as early in the month as possible, and always before the business meeting. NEWS FROM THE ROAD Those present at GPR'84 remember 9 Houston FRs clad in Texas-flag running shorts. The Texas contingent's showing in the race was impressive; in fact, one Houston FR, Steve Logo, placed fifth overall. Steve continues to live up to his speedy image, placing 131 st in the January Houston-Tenneco Marathon (his time was an admirable 2:52:48). Not only are the Houston FRs fast, they're also ambitious: their club holds no fewer than 4 fun runs a week, meeting for 6milers in Memorial Park. Each month they enter one or two special races as a team. One such race is the Bayou City Fun Run, a IOK to be held on March 23. Houston FRs are inviting FRs from all over the country to be their guests for Houston's premier IOK event. Anyone interested in accepting some Texas hospitality should see me for an application. If you'd like to arrange for housing accommodations or learn more about Houston FRs, contact Salvador Morales at 713-529-1288. --Rick Buckheit SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDAR Theater Party: "The Mystery of Irma Vep" Women's Brunch: Nan Bailey's Monthly Board of Directors Meeting Monthly Business Meeting Virginia Slims Tennis Championships GPR'85 Fundraising Party Museum Mile & More Fun Run Theater Party: "As IS" A Four-Island Tour Long Run Meet-the-Membership Run & Picnic Weekend in Washington, DC Gay Pride Run '85 Gay Pride Run '85 Party Pride Day Parade & Fest ivai Friday Sunday Wednesday Wednesday Saturday Saturday Sunday Friday Sunday Saturday Friday Saturday Saturday Sunday -3- 3/8 3/10 3/13 3/20 3/23 3/23 3/24 3/29 3/31 5/4 5/17 6/29 6/29 6/30 8:00 12:00 8:00 9:00 1:00 8:00 11:00 8:00 10:15 10:00 6:00 9:30 9:00 12:00 PM N PM PM PM PM AM PM AM AM PM AM PM N �A TASTE OF BROOKLYN What are the perks of running to Brooklyn ••• in Brooklyn? Arriving at the appointed hour from the nether regions of Manhattan, Queens, and the Continent (Hoboken), the "Taste of Brooklyn" militia of FRs assembled at City Hall on Sunday, Feb. 10, for the scheduled invasion of Kings County and ultimate pillaging of Junior's. Gen. Kessler, draped in valentine red, dispensed final printout data on alternate routes and estimated distances to arrive at our final destination, and with long locks flowing in the morning breeze, Guy led us across the treacherously iced Brooklyn Bridge. We landed with but one casualty on the distant shore - Bill Dolan backhanding Des Kelly in a sweeping, emotional gesture of arrival. Past Borough Park through the Fresh Start Mall we sped, where not even the homeless noted our presence. We paused at the Williamsburg Tower (8mi le mark of the NYC Marathon) for final uniform adjustments and water dispensed by Prez Gerben from the latest FR relic (donated by John Delves and fondly dubbed "White Thing"). Bob Brins and Bob Richert then led us onward and upward on Flatbush towards Grand Army Plaza and its park. As we passed churchgoing Brooklynites, Millrose Marty and Fast Franky took turns escorting our only FR woman, seasoned marathoner Charlene B., R.N., all the while talking of health care as a living. Prospect Park was isolated for a Sunday, compared to Central Park, with several lost cars and some determined bikers and cross-country skiers the only other witnesses to Des Kelly's revelations about his secret Rio fetish, and our Brooklyn designer Joe P .'s admitting to not running the 3.5-mile circuit if possible. With a final water stop at the top of "Killer Hill" we left the park and sprinted down Flatbush Ave. towards our appointed destination, and yet another goal became a reality. Obviously aware of our ferocious record with eating establishments, Fort Junior's capitulated immediately changing rooms were provided, and platter after platter of sweet rolls, butter, and jams were served us as we waited for the main gastronomical delights to follow. Whatever training we'd had at Miss Porter's went completely out the window as huge portions of corned-beef hash, eggs and omelets, French toast, hash browns, sausage, bacon, syrup, and pot upon pat of coffee were devoured and ravenous appetites finally sated. Burping and dishing completed the victory feast, and as "Tea for Two" wafted in from the Cheesecake Lounge, Francis Brady mused aloud to concert pianist George Schlein about the possible whereabouts of the missing Bob and Tim - "Feathering their nest from A&S, no doubt." ALONG THE LAVENDER TRAIL The high Iight of my week was the T ricentennial observance of the birth of George Frideric Handel; a close second was the First Annual Lavender Trail Run, culminating at The Spike (Yes, Sir!). It still feels to me that our merry/gay group was doing a Wrong-WayCorrigan number; for ten years I marched uptown to Central Park in the Gay Pride March, but in truth most of us were bored with the speechmaking there and headed downtown to Christopher St., our true turf. I've never before been presented with a computer-printed map of a run. The organizer of this event, Howie Kessler, a highly organized pixie (a close relation to a fairy), must have accurately perceived that several of us back-of-the-pack, Rear Runners would separate from the front Front Runners and need a map. Past touristy Midtown we ran, weaving in and out of traffic and tourists with cameras, aimed high and gawking at the overindulgence of late-20th-century architecture, past St. Patrick's and my fantasy of running into the Cathedral in the middle of High Mass, fist upraised and shouting, "Gay Power, Gay Power!" to the pitstop at the glorious Flatiron Building. Doing a Rosie Ruiz, I arrived barely ahead of the front front Front Runners, Tony-from-Texas, who demurely describes himself as a Rear Runner, and the inimitable Marty King. As usual when we dine at The Spike, there were the songs of innocence: "Oh, this is The Spike, I've never been here," and "Oh, I've only been here for brunch." (Get off it, Mary!) The Spike has an identity problem: at brunch it is nothing like it is at midnight; the potted palms, brought in to make it less intimidating to eh Guppies, the high level of lighting (comparative) which allows you to read menus and see faces, the good service. But enough; I must go, now. My publisher (Steve Gerben) and my editor (Michael Cooper) both proclaim that, in the interest of economy and "tightness," I must constrict my tendency toward free association. The Lavender Trail beckons. --Tom Records· WOMEN'S BRUNCHES Following the Snowflake Run in Central Park on Saturday, Feb. 9, about 25 FR women and friends met at Debby Pastrich's for a spread of food and lots of warm coffee (congratulations to everyone who ran in that cold weather). The next brunch will be held at Nan Bailey's, 14 Fiske Place, Brooklyn, on Sunday, March 10, following the Brooklyn Half-Marathon.

The S-mile run will meet in Astoria, Queens, at the end of the line of the RR (BMT) train (31st St. & Ditmars Blvd). at II AM. The long tour will encompass 4 of the most scenic islands of "Le Grand Pomme." Heading northward on CPW, we' II enter Central Park at 90th St. and cross to the East Side via I02nd St. We'll work our way to the Triborough Bridge for a magnificent panoramic view of the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and the islands of Manhattan, Randall, Ward, Roosevelt, and (hopefully from the outside) Rikers. Passing over the delightful greenery of Astoria Park will be the end of our aerial view, and we'll land at Hoyt Ave. in Astoria and go left on 31st St. to meet up with our short tour. From here we'll experience Astoria, Steinway, LaGuardia Airport, and Long Island City. Those who wish an extended tour may continue on through the airport and to parts unknown. A "brunch elegant" wi II be waiting for us, sponsored by the Asters of Astoria, Leo Boneau & Joe Criscione (30-18 49th St., 113N). Appetites are required. RSVP to 718-721-3699 or 212-873-0517. MUSEUM MILE & MORE (6 mi. - 3/24/85) This month's tours will both begin at the Museum of Natural History (see above). This one starts at II AM. The first 2 museums on the tour are the above-mentioned Natural History and the NY Historical Society. We'll travel across Central Park (a museum in itself of landscape architecture) to the Museum of the City of NY and the beginning of Museum Mile. The east side of Central Park holds some of the world's most important works of art in some of the world's most important museums: Audubon Society, Jewish, Cooper-Hewitt, Academy of Design, Guggenheim, Metropolitan, Goethe, and the Frick Collection. At 78th St. we'll turn past Finch College Museum, then head south on Madison Ave. past the many galleries around the Whitney Museum. Asia House is our next museum on Park Ave., and then south past Grand Central to the Phillips Gallery and the Morgan Library. The end of our tour will be at the Great Hall of Palms at The Spike, with its sense of history, for brunch. Tours include guide, baggage check, directions, and visas. --Howard Kessler RUNNING CLINICS be starting.

We' II stretch before (and after) and jog, not run, to the workout site. The class will break up into various pace groups so that you work with people near your pace. It's important that you make the commitment to attend each week - not for me, but so that your pace-mates know that they'll have one another to work with and against in order to benefit from the class. If you know in advance that you won't be able to attend a particular class, let us know. Call or see Guy for more details or if you're planning to attend (718-278-8280). RACE TRACKS Welcome faces around road races this month: Bob Morris, hello again, and welcome to Charlene (see Bagel Run). From the talk I hear and the results I see, there are a lot of people in training for those special personal goals. Do I foresee a landing of FRs on Long Island shores this spring? Go ask Nan Bailey, Rick Buckheit, Connie Knapp, and Jim Skofield. Congratulations to Brent N. Earle for a fabulous first marathon, to Lenore Beaky for a IOK lifetime personal best on her age-division-changing birthday, and to Jon Livingston for a quick comeback into the fast lane.

In that 5 months, all the work and preparation that culminate in FRNY's annual Gay Pride Run must take place. As the highlight of our club's yearly schedule, the race has become not only an integral part of the citywide celebration of the Gay Pride Week, but also an increasingly major race on the circuit of NYRRC-supported racing events. This year we're pushing hard to have I,000 runners toe the starting line - a jump of almost 250 participants from last year's fine field. A jump of such magnitude will require a comparable increase in effort from all of us. A projected budget of $15,500 will have to cover advertising, printing, T-shirts, and race-related expenses such as trophies, oranges, and the ever-present Port-OSans. Some of the funding for the budget comes from race entry fees (reduced this year to only $6 an entry!); the remainder has to be brought in from the Race Program, the Fundraiser, and corporate and personal donations. Joel lfcher, who has done a yeoman job on the Race Program for the past two years, is stepping down from that position this year. Our loss of Joel is somewhat assuaged by his promise to offer assistance and advice to our new Race Program Director, Tim Storch. Tim can be reached at (20 I) 659-6542 and will welcome all those who'd like to contribute time and effort in soliciting contributions and ads from businesses. As .in past years, we'll have a Fundraiser in the spring (date and place to be announced); plan to attend and bring as many of your friends as you can. Close to $1 ,800 was given in personal donations from club members last year. Since we now have incorporated on a tax-exempt basis, all donations to FRNY are fully tax deductible. Give early and often. Jon Livingston and the Running Gear Committee will soon be making a final selection for this year's race logo. The logo appears everywhere, as last year's designer, Tim Wilson, will attest to, and fame and notoriety await its designer. Hurry and get your designs in to Jon (222-2478). Or, better yet, join the "rag" committee yourself to work on the design selection and to spend breathless afternoons in the Garment District pricing T-shirts with Jeff Guasco. The crack finish-line team that is the signature of any "FRNY race" needs, as ever, fresh recruits. Guy "Leatherneck" Zelenak and Bob "Parris Island" Brins, in their respective incarnations as Director of Volunteers and Technical Director, will be responsible for whipping the team into razor-sharp condition. To meet the finishline challenge of Gay Pride Run '85, 120 of the club's bravest and finest are needed, so step on out of the shadows and be identified. Andrew Khoo and Howard Kessler have already joined the "Finish Line of 120 Stars." Watch this column for further additions, or call Guy at (718) 278-8280 or Bob at 2491619 and make a little news yourself. Let's all work to make the Fourth Annual Gay Pride Run the best possible race for everyone. Give me a toot at 799-2603 with your suggestions, questions, and cognitive concatenations; I promise I'll listen. -Jim Skofield, GPR'85 Race Director �UPWARDLY: MOBIL GAMES; OR, I WOULDN'T TOUCH THAT WITH A TEN-FOOT POLE VAULTER It's time once again for that old Front Runner favorite, the USA/Mobil Indoor Track & Field Championships at Madison Square Garden. Forty tickets have been reserved in a block for us. Date: Feb. 22. Dates: Bring your own. Cost: $12. Accoutrements: Binoculars are highly recommended. Make reservations with Bruce Bates (718-847-2275); mail check to club address. First come, first served. BUSII'ESS MEETINGS Several dozen FRs were on hand for the first business meeting of 1985 at Sue Foster's, where choco-chip cookies and the proposed bylaws revisions were attacked with equal relish. Bruce Bates, our new Social Chairperson, has risen to the challenge, offering us a plethora of theatrical possibilities (see below). Howard Kessler announced that most of our Sunday short runs will now end at The Spike (oh joy! - a new cockring each month!), and Dan Del Monte praised us on our sizzling performance at the 6-miler. Steve G., gloomily informing us that some of our shirts (unlike their potential occupants) are not moving, announced a fashion show to be held at a postrun breakfast. Call Tom Cook if you'd like to help the club's finances by displaying your body inside our flattering, form-fitting clothing. Finally, newly appointed GPR'85 Race Director Jim Skofield discussed the race's budget and his willingness to be tattooed (where?) if that will encourage potential sponsors to reveal themselves. I I I Next month's meeting will be held on Feb. 20 at Julie Keirn's apartment (733 Amsterdam Ave., at 96th St., /126G) at 9 PM after the run and dinner. -Lenore Becky AH, SWEET MYSTERY! In the ongoing spirit of expanding our cultural horizons, the Front Runners Social Committee (of one) proudly announces an evening of theater at the Ridiculous Theatrical Co.'s presentation of Charles Ludlam's "The Mystery of Irma Vep." Date: Friday, March 8. Time: 8:00 PM. Place: The Ridiculous Theatrical Co., One Sheridan Square. Price: $16. Dress: Optional. Clothes: Mandatory. Forty tickets have been purchased: reservations to Bruce Bates (718-847-2275); check to club address. As usual, the first ones with the money will be the first to get the tickets. Last year we attended Ludlam's brilliant and zany "Galas,v based on the life of Maria Callas, which was a real scream. •lll!!l!!lll!!!~::iirrl FOR A GOOD TIME, THE NUMBER TO CALL IS • • • As your newly appointed Social Chairperson/Cruise Director, I'd first like to take this opportunity to thank our dearly beloved president for getting me into this, and then give an overview of what we've done in the past and, hopefully, what we're going to do in the future. The FRNY rumor mill/grapevine being what it is, it was not too much of a surprise to me when Steve . offered me the job. I was hoping to be the Court Jester, but unfortunately that post was already filled. I don't mind playing second fiddle as long as someone gives me a bow. Steve's offer was - not to put too fine a distinction on it - somewhere between blackmail and desperation. His words were something to the effect of: "If you insist on being the life of the party, the least you can do is call the caterer." So, with my ever-present volume of Emily Post and the FRNY membership list, I'm all set for business. Looking back at the past year's calendar of social events (not necessarily running functions), I see (in no particular order) the Gay Pride Run Fundraiser, the Gay Pride Run Party, 2 trips to the beach, the Pasta/Anniversary Party, the Holiday Party, and the Halloween Party. This is 9 (count 'em, 9) major events - or an average of one every 6 weeks or so, although it seems about half take place during the summer season. (I guess nobody feels like going to Jones Beach in March.) Some of the events, like the beach parties, are fairly simple to plan - you just tell everybody where and when to show up and that's that. Other events, such as the Gay Pride Run Fundraiser, the Gay Pride Party, and the out-of-town trips, are major undertakings. As you can tell from the above, we're a fairly social group. However, parties and trips do not simply get themselves made - although, from what I understand, the same can not be said about the participants. The primary function of the Social Chairperson, as I see it, is to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that everyone has a good time. It does not mean that the Social Chairperson drops dead from exhaustion because nobody else is willing to take on some of the work. What this is all leading up to is that I need HELP. H-E-L-P. Help. Anyone interested in serving on the Social Committee is more than welcome. References and pedigrees aren't necessary, at least at this time. Your bright ideas are more than welcome. RSVP to me at (718) 847-2275. Thanks ever so much. -Bruce Bates -2- �FLEET FOOT ADVENTURE TOURS PRESENTS: A TASTE OF BROOKLYN Sunday, Feb. 10, 10:00 AM, 9.5 miles, starting from City Hall in Manhattan. Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, through its Egyptian ~othic towers, we' II make our procession to the County of Kings. The Borough Hall, across Cadman Plaza, greets you and introduces the new Fulton Street Market, Brooklyn's newly redeveloped downtown district. The Williamsburg Savings Tower is the tallest building in Brooklyn and marks the heart of America's fourth-largest city. Onward and upward is Grand Army Plaza, which stands guard to Prospect Park, where we' II tour once around and past the Zoological Gardens. Finally, we'll proceed down the hill on Flatbush Ave., past the Academy of Music, to share brunch at that Mecca of Cheesecake, the world-famous Junior's. -Howard Kessler TI-E LAVENDER TRAIL Sunday, Feb. 24, 11:00 AM, 6 miles, starting from Tavern on the Green. Distant memories of Gay Pride Week will become clear and vibrant when we follow the parade route from the Central Park West staging area to Christopher St. As we head past the granite and bronze figures of Columbus Circle to the Ave. of Mercantile Gold (Fifth), we' II recall Marty King (a Millrose of moment, not of heart) proudly hailing to all who lined the way. Fifth's pomp and preen will again admit its dependence when we forge southward with physical and financial fortitude. Washington Square marks the turning point of our journey from power to pride when we come home again to the Village and Christopher St. We'll feast to our rededication at the Great Hall of Palms at The Spike. All tours include guide, baggage check, directions, and visas. Arrangements are made for shorter routes within the longer tours. Food and portage to and from points of departure are extra. REAL MEN DO EAT QUIQ-E - AND BLINTZES AND PASTA On Jan. 27, Bruce Bates arranged for a stretch limo (first car of the E train) to transport an adventurous few from 53rd & Fifth to his apartment in Kew Gardens. Even George Schlein managed to be on time. Already at Bruce's, sprawled shoeless on the pile carpeting, was a large contingent of Front Runner Queens queens. After a quick cup of coffee the group started on what turned out to be a brisk 6-mile run to Flushing Meadow, site of the 1939 and 1964-65 World's Fairs, familiar territory to run leader Guy Zelenak, who boasts of having attended both. We ran parallel to the Grand Central Parkway up to and around the lake by the Billy Rose Aquacade, over 2 bridges, across many patches of ice and a highway before retracing our steps back to the warmth of Bruce's apartment, where we changed clothes (captured in living color by Tom Records) before settling down to Bruce's delicious and bountiful brunch of quiche, blintzes, & pasta. Entertainment was provided by Tom Cook reading out questions from the gay trivia game. Joe Criscione knew the name of Cher's only disco hit, PYT Joe Straus knew what PYT means (pretty young thing), & Jim Skofield seemed to know everything else. -Bob McCormack APATHY BUSTERS When the ballots for the Annual Election of 1985 officers/director s were counted, individual choice was a winner. Voter participation was up by 45.4%! As Elections Officer, I'd like to express thanks to all of the candidates for running, to .the Board of Directors for my appointment, to Joe Criscione, Jeff Guasco, Andy Khoo, and Tim Storch for counting the ballots, to Howard Kessler for helping to design the ballot itself, and, most importantly, to the voters for caring. -Bob Brins SPECIAL EVENTS CALENDAR A Taste of Brooklyn Long Run Monthly Board of Directors Meeting Monthly Business Meeting Mobil Track & Field Games The Lavender Trail Fun Run Theater Party: "The Mystery of Irma Vep" GPR'85 Fundraising Party Weekend in Washington, DC Meet-the-Membe rship Run & Picnic Gay Pride Run '85 Gay Pride Run '85 Party Pride Day March & Fest ivai -3- Sunday Wednesday Wednesday Friday Sunday Friday ?

Having heard the call to run and answering, I was again hearing a call, this time to develop the Sunday fun runs. In any case, the voices I've been hearing havn't been my own. The latter was Steve's. Having enjoyed the aforementioned fun runs, even if presently a bit apprehensive about heeding "calls," I accepted the position, with the assurance of Steve and the help of John Delves, with whom I co-developed the successful NJ Tour-de-Farce last October. ANNOUNCEMENT: The reestablishment of Fleet-Foot Adventure Tours. Our runs will be varied, with the constant theme of discovering old areas from different points of view and new locations nearby. The short runs will explore Manhattan's districts, architecture, and points of interest. Brunch will be at the Great Hall of Palms at The Spike. Surely this is the best place yet found for a good time, a good meal, and where all of us are welcome. The long runs will be mostly outside Manhattan and will accommodate those wishing to run shorter distances. Many FRs in the "Surrounds de Manhattan" have been wanting to show off their homes but can't get people to cross the river. No more excuses! Our laces are tied and our running bags packed. As can be noted at monthly meetings, not much room is needed, and long runners are few. Please contact me to help develop a run and sponsor its brunch. Get-together costs are shared by the runners, and you get to borrow the famed FRNY coffee urn. You can invite your neighbors in to view it. Steve assures me that a car will be available for the fun runs to carry bags, water, and winded runners. Help broaden the horizons of other FRs and make the fun runs fun. This is an excellent way to be a participant in the club and its activities. -Howard Kessler BEt£FIT RUN RESULTS Following is a breakdown of what we raised at our Benefit Run on Oct. 13. Again FRNY has demonstrated its support for the gay & lesbian community. Thanks to all who .took part.

"Self-Massage for Runners" was the title of an engrossing workshop given by MaryAnn Chirichella in her Queens home. Car-pooling from other boroughs, we spent a beautiful and relaxing afternoon listening to MaryAnn explain the philosophy and body wisdom behind massage techniques, watching her demonstrate her technique on Mickey Zacuto, and massaging our own legs with wonderfully scented oils. A sumptuous brunch, including spectacular fruit salad by 5th-grader Michelle, followed. After coffee and a chance to talk, the workshop ended, and we all took a feeling of warmth with us into the cold, darkening evening. Do you know what shinsplints really are? Do you know how to use massage to get rid of them? Do you know the reflexology points in your feet that you can massage to relieve pain in other parts of your body? If you've answered no to any of these questions, perhaps we can talk MaryAnn into holding another workshop real soon. -Anne Corey I'EWS FROM Tt-E ROAD If you're going to be in the Philadelphia area anytime soon, be sure to run with the newly organized Philly FR club. PFR began with the efforts of Rik Ford this past spring. At first the turnout was slow after Rik placed ads in the Philly Gay News, but when the pleasant autumn weather continued through December, as many as 30 runners converged on Rittenhouse Square for Saturday morning runs out to the Art Museum and back, breakfast, and conversation. Events include meals at PFRs' homes and racing; 3 PFRs, including FRNY's Lee Graham, did NYC's Midnight Run on New Year's Eve in Central Park. Upcoming are a trip to D.C., participation in GPR'85, and putting up out-of-towners for the Philadelphia Distance Run (half-marathon) in September. If you'd like to participate in any of the PFR activities, contact Lee Graham (215-732-4266). --Rick Buckheit -4- �RACE RESULTS To be sure of having your race results in the Newsletter, mail a card by the 15th of the month to the FRNY P.O. box or to Dan Del Monte (151 W. 76th St., liS, NYC 10023).

John Brandeau made his debut in the racing scene (welcome!), and our club team event broke records for number of members at a race (except, of course, for our own Gay Pride Run). There were 44 finishers in the 6-miler on the 6th, and FRs gave one of their finest performances to date. Both the men's and women's open teams placed fourth and gave the strong field of I,200 something to think about for the future. We have definitely begun to make our mark in the racing community. For February, look for the Bagel Run as a favorite to participate in. Spectators will have a lot to look forward to with the Empire State Building Race on the 14th and the Mobil Games on the 22nd. -Danny Del Monte -S- �FRONT RUNNERS NEW YORK, INC.

Elected were the following: President Steve Gerben Men's Vice President Richard Walker Women's Vice President Connie Knapp Secretary Guy Zelenak Treasurer Mickey Zacuto Directors at Large Lenore Beaky, Rick Buckheit Special thanks to Sue Foster, Mary Tomich, and Bill Dolan for all their past work and dedication. Thanks to all the candidates, and congratulations to the new officers and directors, as well as to Bob Brins, who served so conscientiously as our Elections Officer. FROM STEVE GERBEN Once again I'd like to thank you all for your support in 1984. It was another highly successful year for FRNY. We celebrated our fifth year by increasing our membership from 360 to 420. Our running and social activities continue to expand, and we've emerged as a presence on the racing scene. The Third Annual Gay Pride Run was again an outstanding success. Our first year of operations with a Board of Directors went very well, and the IRS granted us our tax-exempt status. As we look to the future, we' II continue to promote our presence in the community and make a major effort to get our inactive members involved in club activities. In addition, we'll work to involve new people in the administrative affairs of the club in order to decentralize and broaden our managerial base. Remember, the success of the club depends on your participation, so let's make 1985 the year that we all make our contribution to FRNY. RACE RESULTS INNOVATIONS We're computerizing our race results to help the club provide better and more accurate information for its members. We hope to establish course records for FRs for all distances and help individuals keep better track of their progress over time. This will require cooperation from everyone. Starting Jan. 15, all race results must be called in by the 15th of each month. We urge you not to fail to notify us of your race times either by calling (212) 496-7662 or mailing a card to the club box or to Danny Del Monte (151 W. 76th St., i/5, NYC 10023). Neglecting to do so could mean not getting your times on our Race Results page. Also, anyone who's interested in volunteering to help compile race times should contact me at the above number or address. (Compiling can be done easily if you're running in a race or volunteering at the finish line.) -DDM GAY PRIDE RUN '85 The time has arrived to start actively planning for our race on Saturday, June 29. Of immediate concern is our selection of a race logo to be used on the T-shirts, race applications, and advertising. If you'd like to submit a design, talk to Jon Livingston (222-2478), our Design Committee Chairperson. All designs must be received by Jan. 15, so don't delay. NYFR Jim Skofield is undertaking the considerable task of being this year's Race Director. In order to provide the experience necessary for working in our race, we' II be asking our volunteers to work in NYRRC races in the months ahead. Since the entry fees cover less than half the cost of the race, we' II also need people to help solicit corporate and business donations and ads for the Race Program, as well as prizes for the drawing. And again we're looking to our members for financial support. Last year FRs donated over $1,800 towards the race; let's try to top that figure this year. Remember, your donations are now tax deductible, so please be as generous as possible. The GPR is our single biggest undertaking and requires the talents of many people. Please do your part by getting involved in some aspect of planning for GPR'85, and let's all work to make it another great success. �ANNUAL MEETING Neither rain, nor cold, nor threat of long speeches shall thwart FRs from their annual meeting. After voraciously consuming Leo's fare, the group promptly launched into the business at hand. The first action was to approve the forgiveness of the club's $500 loan to the Lesbian & Gay Community Services Center. Further, in keeping with the holiday spirit, donations of $100 each were approved to AIDS Resource Center, National Gay Task Force, and the Gay Switchboard. Based on disparate recommendations for spending the club's funds, a "financial planning committee" was proposed to recommend uses of any excess funds in the treasury. Committee "history" reports from the various officers and directors included the following data: FRNY consists of 416 members, 85 of whom are women; the Meet-the-Membership runs were quite successful, but the accompanying weather was not; and Race Captain Dan Del Monte carries on his person every race application known to currently exist. Prez Steve invited the membership to the open Board meetings, which consist of 80% working, 10% eating, and 10% dishing. He stressed the new emphasis on the involvement of many more members in the operations of the club. Got talent, got time, got energy? Any of the above qualifies you to help out the club, with the exception, of course, of selling shirts - Steve wants that all to himself. Ill After tossing her hat into the air, Mary "Richards" Tomich offered her new large apartment in Minneapolis for our next business meeting; however, we'll be meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 23, after the run and dinner, at Sue Foster's (101 W. 81st St., /1714) at 9:00PM. -Richard Walker BYLAWS AMENDMENTS At the upcoming January business meeting the bylaws changes proposed by the Finance Committee will be discussed by the general membership. These changes, which have already been approved by the Board of Directors, have to do with additional financial controls over the club's treasury, specifically relating to disbursements. After discussion at the January meeting, the proposed changes and ballot thereon will be sent with the February newsletter to all members. FRNY COMMITTEES The committees of FRNY are established chairpersons are named by the President. If you're interested in or any of the other officers. If you'd like to help out by working from the listing of the committees and chairpersons which will be by the Board of Directors, and the chairing a committee, talk to Steve on a committee, peruse and choose included in next month's newsletter. FUNDRAISER FOR LAMBDA ASSOCIATES OF STATEN ISLAND Wanna help our friends in the "forgotten borough" raise money for a gay & lesbian community center in Staten Island? We have $1 raffle tickets for prizes such as a video cassette recorder, a basket of cheer (and we hope they don't mean detergent), personal radio/cassette player, portable TV, and disc camera. See Connie Knapp or Richard Walker to get your tickets. Demonstrate your generosity; it may pay off in two ways. JINGLE BELL ROCK A group of about 20 FRs met at 72nd St. & Riverside Dr. on Sunday morning, Dec. 23, for our run down to the Village. Led by Leo Boneau, Joe Criscione, and Dave Weir, who were sporting red Santa hats, the merry band made their way down II th Ave. Passing by the new Convention Center, Tom Cook was able to pick up some ideas for some new color combinations from the Ladies of the Night who cheered us on our way. Reaching the turnaround point at Christopher St., most of the group elected to do a little extra mileage and continued south. Finally back at The Spike, appropriately decorated for the holidays, we all enjoyed a wonderful brunch together. On the way out, newly elected Director at Large Lenore Beaky and Treasurer Mickey Zacuto, with technical advice from Richard Walker, showed more than a passing interest in the cockrings displayed for sale. They have promised a full report at the next Board of Directors meeting as to what uses they found for them. The Board will use its discretion in reporting their findings to the membership. TAC MEMBERSHIP A II memberships in the Athletics Congress (T AC) ex pi red on Dec. 31. To renew for 1985 you'll receive a renewal form from TAC, or see Guy Zelenak or Dan Del Monte for an application form. Our club number for the application is 511. Membership in TAC provides you with liability insurance in TAC-sanctioned events (almost all races) and is required for certain races, including the NYC Marathon, so if you plan to enter, don't procrastinate - things get busy toward June. FRNY SCRAPBOOK Our club scrapbook is almost void of photos of 1984 events. Please step forward if you have photos you'd like to donate to the cause of FRNY history. See Guy Zelenak (278-8280). -2- �.. QUEENS FOR A DAY On Sunday, Jan. 27, we'll meet at the IND station at 5th Ave. & 53rd St. at I0 AM. Be on the platform ready to hop into the front car of the E train. We' II ride to the Union Turnpike/Kew Gardens station, whence we'll go to the winter (and summer) home of Bruce Bates, 13520 Hoover Ave., /14M (yes, "M," as in you-know-who!), for coffee and a pit stop. From there we'll run to Flushing Meadow Park, site of two world's fairs - 1939 and 1964-65. There' II be a door prize for any runner who's attended both and admits to it. After the run we'll return chez Bruce, where brunch will be burned (er, cooked} and served by your host. (Hard help is so good to find these days!) Please call Bruce at 718-847-2275 (this is a local call from any of the 5 boroughs) so he can plan food quantities and supply directions to anyone traveling by means other than the above. Also, any suggestions as to what to serve will be much appreciated. (Just remember, we're not dealing with Julia Child; so keep your suggestions simple.) There'll be a $4 per-person chip-in. N.B.: Although Bruce would be more than happy to entertain all and sundry (and frequently has), limited space and cooking facilities - let alone cooking ability - necessitate limiting this 6-mile run to 25 participants. First come, first served! If you plan to attend, R.S.V.P. to Bruce no later than Jan. 20. BEEEEEEP 5:30 PM, Saturday, Dec. 9. You're not home. You missed a tres-fab time. Instead of playing polo this morning, le groupe took off without our Guccis and sporting no lzods and ran en masse about Lower Manhattan. I mean, Camp City. We first headed towards, you'll excuse the expression, New Jersey, where some of our yachts used to be docked before we bought an island to take off our taxes. Next we headed down to the Financial District, where Dad got my Ferrari. The sunshine brought forth gaggles of los turistas at Battery Park. Now, on the proper side of town, we headed northward through the East Side Park. Instead of heading up to Sutton Place, we took a left at, hold on, 42nd St. I hope you're sitting. We wound up at, be still my heart, the Automat! Well, it was total camp without a counselor. It all started when Firthie left early, singing "Bad Boys Never Lose lt." Buckie asked for a fifty's worth of nickels. Gerbie sat at a table barking, "Oh, garcon." Martini donned a plastic orchid and served coffee, tea, and cocoa. Zellie piled up trays and began a lecture, using the trays as a lectern. Brentie threw himself onto the table in typical Dietrich fashion and sang Kurt Weil songs to the accompaniment of Bobby Rich and his orchestral spoons. Bobby B. and Brady joined in singing ya, ya, and I redecorated the place to look like the Blue Angel. Tommy R. just ate everything in sight. The other patrons, still hung from the night before, were not even aware of the fantastic creation and turned into department-store Santos later in the day. Call after 10:00. Tons to tell. Kissy-kissy • • • -Kess HOLIDAY PARTY Were you at the FRNY Holiday Party? l.f so, you don't have to read about the great turnout (130!), the dancing till after 2:00 AM, a semicontinuous Tom Records slide show, and the excellent space at Network. If you weren't there, you missed - among other things - 40 women and Richard Walker's black leather pants. And what would a holiday party be without Santa? Yes Santa Claus, that gay old elf in his traditional red suit, was present most of the evening giving candy to everyone, naughty or nice. "You already have your heart's desire," he whispered, "but here's a candy cane •••" Rumor has it that the initials R.B. were spotted on Santa's jockey shorts, but the source of this info cannot be divulged. Ho, ho, ho. And a Happy New Year to All. --Anne Corey RUNNING MONOLOGUE Oftentimes the reason for starting something is to achieve a specific result, then that result becomes more the by-product than the reason. The story is nothing new. Like many others, I joined FRNY to keep me going through the winter in my running shoes. It worked. I kept running. I also met new people and over a period of time made friends. I was pulled into a stream of improvement and involvement. It now takes more than one pair of running shoes to get me through the winter. It now takes more time to get ready to run. In addition to the change of dry clothes, I pack in my bag some photographs of the last FR party for the friends present, an article for the newsletter for friends present and not, a running catalogue for a running friend, floppy disks for a running computer friend, and the desire to enjoy new friends. On Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings I can usually be found talking with my friends. We also run. --Howard Kessler NEWSLETTER CONTRIBUTIONS The FRNY Newsletter is composed of articles written by members of the club. Participation is very welcome and beneficial to everyone. Submit your pieces to any officer, but please do it as early in the month as possible, and always before the business meeting. -3- �SELF-MASSAGE WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN RUNI\ERS The benefits of massage therapy in relationship to athletic performance are phenomenal. For instance, a muscle that has been exercised vigorously will be restored to 20% of its power during a 5-minute rest. However, that same muscle, when given a 5-minute massage, will be restored to 100% of its capacity. Through the use of Athletic Massage Therapy an athlete can improve her performance, hasten her recovery time (having a professional massage is equivalent to taking a day or two off from training), and reduce her risk of injury. Although these claims may seem amazing, they are nevertheless true. There is nothing magical or mystical about massage. It is a system based on scientific physiological principles. Many massage techniques can be self-administered with dramatic results. I've developed such a technique, and I've designed it specifically for runners. I'll be demonstrating my technique for all FR women and their friends on Sunday, Jan. 13 (time & place TBD). Anyone interested in attending the workshop should contact me directly at 718-445-3405, or call Connie Knapp at 212-222-2558. -MaryAnn Chirichella LOGON TO THE BACKROOM The Backroom is a gay BBS (bulletin board system to you computer neophytes) that has been operating out of Queens for the past 9 months. A major investment in new hardware and software now promises to make The Backroom the most sophisticated (and fun) gay BBS in the region. Features will include a vacation and travel section with online booking, events listings, fiction, computerware at discount prices, assorted message boards, and electronic mail. Artie, the SYSOP, says he'll take $5 off the regular yearly membership fee of $30 for FRs. If yau've got the hardware sitting around, I think it's a real bargain. I've got a soft spot for The Backroom because I found FRNY through the listings section. Checks should be made payable to The Backroom and sent to PO Box 539, Richmond Hill, NY 11418-9998. Include the following: name, phone number, city & state you'll be calling from, and a password of up to 4 letters. --Irwin Seltzer FRNY MEMBERSHIP CARD AS GOOD AS GOLD Among the many benefits of membership in FRNY are the discounts you'll receive by showing your FRNY membership card.

ON THE BOARDWALK IN ATLANTIC CITY- OR, HERE SHE IS, MISS MARATHON- OR, THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS Once, in the "dear, dead days beyond recall," people sat around on a languid, sultry evening in Kansas City and listened to a device from which only sound was emitted - no pictures. We called this a radio, and it occupied a central place in the living room. As it was too hot to actually sit in the room, we sat on screened-in porches (this was also pre-airconditioning) and under a yellow light (to keep away the bugs). The kids on the block played a great Depression Era board game called Monopoly. Big Band sounds drifted out from the Philco. I was unquestionably the champion Monopoly player of that neighborhood in Kansas City between the years 1945 and 1948. (After 1948, Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca moved us indoors, and the Monopoly board disappeared into the attic.) I wheeled and dealed and was usually the banker. More than once I sent letters to Parker Brothers asking about subtleties in the rules. (Could the banker charge 12¥2% interest loans rather than foreclose on a property, in order to keep a nearly bankrupt player alive a bit longer?) I usually gentrified Mediterranean and Baltic, but my favorite properties were the "reds" - Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. My nemeses were the "yellows," whose names I've now forgotten, except for the notorious Marvin Gardens, which always tripped me up and produced the only cliff-hangers. So often did I hit Marvin Gardens that a friend dubbed me (in anticipation of the movie with Jack Nicholson) "The King of Marvin Gardens." Such were my days of innocence. Imagine my surprise, then, when in a book of pop culture I discovered that the Monopoly board had been named after streets in Atlantic City. Still, I never made it to Atlantic City, until recently. The NYC Marathon had been a tremendous ordeal and disappointment. Months of training for my first marathon ended in a trip through the lower circles of Hades, and my mood was sulky and irritable in the weeks that followed. I felt that Ms. Nature "owed me one." I longed for what is called in psychiatric jargon a "corrective emotional experience." In short, I wanted revenge. In casting about, I was discouraged by the Jersey Shore Marathon - too windy, too close in time to New York; Philadelphia was a possibility, but I was not willing to fight the Thanksgiving Weekend traffic. I wanted, furthermore, a small, intimate marathon - one in which people did not take themselves too seriously - to trip the light fantastic. An apostate of Front Runners, hereafter referred to as M.K., let me in on one of the better-kept secrets of marathoning: the Silver Anniversary Atlantic City Marathon on Dec. 2. It offered 14 miles on the Boardwalk, 12 miles on quiet city streets, a premarathon pasta dinner, and an all-cotton long-sleeved shirt for all runners. (Eat your heart out, Gerben!) Further, a call to the president of the Boardwalk Runners, who advised driving down the day before the run to register, assured me of no more than 500 entrants. And so it was with a song in my heart and gas in my Fiat that I hit Atlantic City on Saturday the dowager city and chief bitch of the south Jersey shore. I attempted to orient myself, and suddenly my eyes espied Kentucky, then Indiana and Illinois Avenues! It was like circumnavigating a large Monopoly board! The run was under ideal conditions: 40 degrees at the start (9 AM on Sunday), SO at the end (more than 4 hours for me), no wind, and a perfectly flat course that doubled back, allowing me to see the lead runners. At one point, at about 18 miles, the lead runner, who finished in "only" about 2Y2 hours, came up from behind me on the Boardwalk (wood is a marvelous medium on which to run), accompanied by 2 bicycles with little bells that alerted me, and I ran a few hundred feet alongside him, then decided that his pace really was not mine, and dropped back to finish a gentle, long run. In the course of the weekend I talked to a professor of engineering who was running his 352nd marathon. He advised me not to run more than 10 marathons a year. I promised him to restrain myself. For those of you who are tired of the hoopla, crush of crowds, and the media event and street theater that constitute the NYC Marathon, I heartily recommend Atlantic City. My only regret: I never did find Marvin Gardens. --Tom Records -5- �RACE RESULTS To be sure of having your race results in the Newsletter, mail a card by the 15th of the month to the FRNY P .0. box or to Dan Del Monte (151 W. 76th St., 115, NYC I0023), or call Dan at 496-7 662.
