This is a picture of me long jumping at the 2017 World Police / Fire Games in Los Angeles.
My winning jump (Men’s 60 - 64) was 18’ 1.75”.
I won three other WPFG long jump titles, Calgary, in 1997, (Men’s 40-44) 19’11”, Indianapolis in 2001 (Men’s 45-49) 18’10” and Vancouver, B.C. in 2009, (Men’s 50 - 54) 18’ 1”. Hurricane Irene prevented me from competing in the 2011 games in NYC.

Locus Grove Church
This historical wooden church is 126 years old. The last person to deliver a sermon was the grandmother of the 3rd generation rancher who owns the property. I introduced myself and he granted me permission to get up-close and explore the interior.
