Happy, Happy! I've been thinking of you recently, as my son Adrian is now the senior captain of his HS Cross Country team. Lots of his teammates out here in the Bay Area are of diverse ethnicities, and their names get mispronounced all the time. Which always brings me back to the time you became Ellio Ukitelly. And in the fine tradition of things skipping a generation, Adrian is way better than me, and even better than his grandfather. He led his team to a 2nd place finish in CA Div 2, and finished 6th individually. Hope you're having a great birthday, and hope you still have fond memories of us running together. I still do.
