Just wanted to say: you got some grief over the Gabe Jennings "visionquest" story...I can't say I loved it either, but I'm glad you tried out something new when you had the chance. It might have been a very good thing, different time, place, and/or person. [I know in the eighties, most folks would have eaten up something in-depth about Coe, Ovett, etc.]
Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to give something a shot every now and then.
I spoke with you in the mid-nineties, when the Internet was becoming a new challenge to the print media, and I pointed out that you have the advantage in two ways: 1.) Pictures, and you should have more color ones; and 2.) Story text, some of the best reading I ever enjoyed were those one page write-ups on specific races...Walker world record, Virgin vs. Rose cross-country battle, each event in the Olympic issues, etc. Reading that coverage, it was like I was there myself--still something the Internet doesn't solely own!
