William Hideo Sato was born July 19 1952 in OlympiaWA the fifth of 6 children who spanned 14 years Hisparents were Japanese Americans who were interned atTule Lake during World War II but released before Williersquosbirth He had a happy childhood growing up on the PugetSound and he adored his parents His father organizedbaseball teams and his mother taught women how tosew Even as a child he was creative a deep thinker andpossessed his characteristic sense of humor andoptimism He graduated from Olympia HS in 1970 andattended Western Washington University for 7 yearswhere he completed his degree in psychology (1974)continuing in classes for Industrial Design He thought hewould get married young and have children but that didnot happen until he married Sue as a 44 year old andacquired her three daughters They were together for 22and a half years and married for 18
In addition to working at GTE and Verizon for 32 yearsand as a driving instructor for Swerve Williersquos life wasfilled with various diverse interests and hobbies Heembraced running motorcycling golf yoga bass guitarand going to the gun range He had an amazing sense ofhumor with an understated dry wit and loved thecomedians George Carlin Mike Birbiglia Jim GaffiganLouie CK Lewis Black Jeff Dunham and Bill Burr Hiswide-ranging accomplishments included climbing MtRainier and Mt Baker running team races several halfmarathons and one full marathon He was one of thefounding members of ESR President of the club 199293and race Director of Mt Si for 9 years He and Sueremodeled their home from a rambler to a two story - trulya life achievement
Willie wasnt one to make demands of people and oftenexpressed to Sue that he fully gave her his support (thetypical approach he took throughout their marriage) Healso was an avid garage sale shopper and seller and aCraigslist devotee These pursuits combined with an
entrepreneurial spiritspawned hismoney makingbusiness onEBay Williealsovolunteered atHabitat forHumanity inthe Bellevuestore was a
math and reading aideat local elementaryschools and heassembled bikes anddrove Santa Clausaround to makedeliveries for theForgotten ChildrenrsquosFund at Christmas time
According to SueWilliersquos Japanese soulalways wanted to giveeverything future lifeHe could not bear towaste or discardanything evenstraightening bent nailsHe kept all kinds ofthings around thatmight somehow be useful in the future repurposing them -once surprising Sue with a knitting caddy he made fromloose odds and ends He had an old SAAB in the garagethat he parted out from the seats to the wheels to theelectrical wiring until it was just a body Then someonetook that too
One of Willies favorite TV shows was American Pickersloving the thrill of the hunt One of the last garage sales hewent to was held by 2 elderly sisters in Bellevue Heboughtan oldarmynavy dufflebag withabrokenzipperHe paid$10 toget itfixedand wasable to sell it on EBay for $7500 because it was a relicThe sisters had an old barn and he asked them if hecould go through it Flashlight in hand (just like his heroeson American Pickers) he found a golf bag with clubs Hewas going to offer them $20 but they asked for $10 Hesold it online for $50 He also was once able to sell asingle club for $100
Willie turned 60 in July of 2012 one month later he wastold he had Stage 4 colon cancer Self contained andstoic in nature he faced it with his trademark humor and

optimism despite the initial shock ofhis diagnosis Willie notified friendsand family in his typical sanguinenature closing with
ldquoAll in all I know I am luckyThey say 1 in 4 people will eventuallyget cancer I realize I am in a veryfavorable position to be that onecancer patient I have a greatcaregiver in Sue am retired and havegood health insurance am in good health otherwise liveonly 4 miles from a world class cancer center(EvergreenSeattle Cancer Care Alliance) and I dont haveyoung children that depend upon me I will continue toadjust to my new life Its good to have a life Willierdquo
The first year post diagnosis passed Willie endurednumerous cancer treatments and multiple surgeries Suewas faithfully there at his side persevering right alongsidehim In December of 2013 he sent out the following email
ldquoAs 2013 comes to an end I look back and countmy blessings Much has changed for me some of itpermanent But through it all you my dear friends andfamily have always been there for me I truly feel yourconcern support and prayers Thank you And of course Icould not make it through all of this without Sue She is mydriver cook (unregistered) nurse secretary CFOtherapist go-fer maid etcand my best friend Let mesay here for the record I love and appreciate her moreevery dayHappy Holidays EveryoneWillierdquo
Tumors waned then waxed as his body adapted towhatever weapon was being used to battle the insidiousdisease He bought 3 motorcycles in one year toaccommodate his fluctuating weight His emails werepeppered with updates on his health and his trademarkpositive attitude ldquoI will have about a 7 week break beforethe next 3 month round of chemo This means it is not sobad that I need continuous treatment This will let me getback to feeling good for a longer timerdquo and ldquoAfter the
next roundof chemothere willbe anotherCT scanand Ihopefully Iwill beable to goon a pillform ofchemoThis willmean IV
infusions only once every threeweeks It looks like this may bea lifetime situation but hey itcan always be worserdquo He wasrealistic but still maintained apositive spirit and a deepappreciation for Sue ldquoI candrive myself if I feel up toit Hope to get back to where Ican play golf ride mymotorcycle go to the shooting
range etc but not holding my breath My future is not rosybut I dont dwell on it As always Sue has beenindispensable I would not be here today if not for herrdquo
From mundane activities to travel adventures Willie andSue made the most of their time together whenever Williefelt better between the periods of debilitating illness andincapacitating treatment Sue had taken up yoga and hebegan joining her To her consternation he was veryflexible and quite good at it Even while he was sick heassumed side plank domination goading her to ldquotry harderrdquoat which point she would tell him to take his matsomewhere else They continued spending time withfriends and familytaking theirgrandchildren campingshopping at ValueVillage and Willieshared the joys ofstamp and coincollecting with two ofhis grandsons One ofthe roles Williecherished the most inlife was being aGrandpa He alsorelished his role as astepfather He hadcome into it latemissed all the drama ofthe younger years andwas truly a friend toSuersquos children Willieand their eldest daughter Christie bonded over resaleshopping Craigslist and EBay Also she and her friendDana enjoyed challenging Willie to the cell phone version ofWords with Friends For a period of time neither of themfelt able to play it missing the man they affectionatelydubbed ldquoThe Willsterrdquo
During those three years Sue and Willie battled his cancertogether Knowing the inevitable outcome they were drivento have some very meaningful conversations Not once didWillie lash out and ask ldquowhy me They made excursionsplanned around his chemo schedule They traveled toCalgary for the purpose of renting a motor home - it was atrial run to see if they wanted to purchase one In it theytraversed Canada visiting Drumheller and the largest

Willie organized a cruise to Alaska with his highschoolfriends One of Sue and Willies most memorable trips wasto Vegas in the summer of 2014 Willie went with thepurpose of inner tubing in Mandalay Bay as well asshopping at the store made famous by one of his favoriteTV shows Pawn Stars They toured Zappos and drovethrough Red Rock National Park
Coming back to reality Sue and Willie continued topersevere against an inexorable killer Willie continued tofill friends in on his status and remained steadfastly calmand optimistic
ldquoStarted another 12 week chemo sessionyesterday It is a different regimen as the previous one wasnot working though in reality at this point there is nomagical cure all for my type Sue and I remain upbeatthrough the good and not so good days Again I could notdo this without her and all your kind thoughts and prayersOK off to check out some garage salesrdquo
ldquoRemember my cancer is not curable buttreatable The doctor says it will eventually break throughwhich means it will change form A different treatment willthen be needed I have fully recovered from my varioussurgeries My weight is back to normal if not a bit over Iam not in constant pain and can do most typical dailyactivities but fatigue is never far away I rest a lot notunlike a house cat who sleeps 20 hours a day Im notquite that bad but must plan out my choresoutings withthat in mind As always Sue is the ultimate caregiverhellipEnough about me hope all is well with you and yoursLaterWillieGo Hawksrdquo
In one of his final emails sent tofriends in June 2015 Williewrote the following
ldquoI had a visit to theemergency room for high feverand bladder blockage Theyinsisted I have a scan that nightFound more tumors basically inthe mid back and sacrum Istarted radiation the next week
The radiationfor me was toattack thetumors thatwere growing inthe bone andsoft tissueareas Thepressure fromthese was themain pain I had10 consecutivedays ofradiation havebeen veryeffective I havereduced theamount of painmeds This has helped clear my thoughts and I generallyhave not felt this good in a long time Throughout it all Imust say Sue has been invaluable It is not anexaggeration to say she has saved my life at least twiceTogether we are under a lot of stress over this whichunfortunately does bubble over sometimes This is anotherpart of fighting cancer
All in all I am doing as well as I could have hoped for Weassume I will resume chemo treatments after recovery fromradiation Tomorrow we see the chemo oncologistRadiation continues healing for 8 weeks after radiationends so hopefully even more pain relief is in site
Weather has been great so this helps us in general I havelittle projects around the house and hobbies -EBayCraigslist garage sales etchelliphellipHope you all are in good health and spirits Life continuesto be (mostly) beautifulWillierdquo

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you

know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

By Larissa Uchiyama
William Hideo Sato was born July 19 1952 in OlympiaWA the fifth of 6 children who spanned 14 years Hisparents were Japanese Americans who were interned atTule Lake during World War II but released before Williersquosbirth He had a happy childhood growing up on the PugetSound and he adored his parents His father organizedbaseball teams and his mother taught women how tosew Even as a child he was creative a deep thinker andpossessed his characteristic sense of humor andoptimism He graduated from Olympia HS in 1970 andattended Western Washington University for 7 yearswhere he completed his degree in psychology (1974)continuing in classes for Industrial Design He thought hewould get married young and have children but that didnot happen until he married Sue as a 44 year old andacquired her three daughters They were together for 22and a half years and married for 18
In addition to working at GTE and Verizon for 32 yearsand as a driving instructor for Swerve Williersquos life wasfilled with various diverse interests and hobbies Heembraced running motorcycling golf yoga bass guitarand going to the gun range He had an amazing sense ofhumor with an understated dry wit and loved thecomedians George Carlin Mike Birbiglia Jim GaffiganLouie CK Lewis Black Jeff Dunham and Bill Burr Hiswide-ranging accomplishments included climbing MtRainier and Mt Baker running team races several halfmarathons and one full marathon He was one of thefounding members of ESR President of the club 199293and race Director of Mt Si for 9 years He and Sueremodeled their home from a rambler to a two story - trulya life achievement
Willie wasnt one to make demands of people and oftenexpressed to Sue that he fully gave her his support (thetypical approach he took throughout their marriage) Healso was an avid garage sale shopper and seller and aCraigslist devotee These pursuits combined with an
entrepreneurial spiritspawned hismoney makingbusiness onEBay Williealsovolunteered atHabitat forHumanity inthe Bellevuestore was a
math and reading aideat local elementaryschools and heassembled bikes anddrove Santa Clausaround to makedeliveries for theForgotten ChildrenrsquosFund at Christmas time
According to SueWilliersquos Japanese soulalways wanted to giveeverything future lifeHe could not bear towaste or discardanything evenstraightening bent nailsHe kept all kinds ofthings around thatmight somehow be useful in the future repurposing them -once surprising Sue with a knitting caddy he made fromloose odds and ends He had an old SAAB in the garagethat he parted out from the seats to the wheels to theelectrical wiring until it was just a body Then someonetook that too
One of Willies favorite TV shows was American Pickersloving the thrill of the hunt One of the last garage sales hewent to was held by 2 elderly sisters in Bellevue Heboughtan oldarmynavy dufflebag withabrokenzipperHe paid$10 toget itfixedand wasable to sell it on EBay for $7500 because it was a relicThe sisters had an old barn and he asked them if hecould go through it Flashlight in hand (just like his heroeson American Pickers) he found a golf bag with clubs Hewas going to offer them $20 but they asked for $10 Hesold it online for $50 He also was once able to sell asingle club for $100
Willie turned 60 in July of 2012 one month later he wastold he had Stage 4 colon cancer Self contained andstoic in nature he faced it with his trademark humor and

optimism despite the initial shock ofhis diagnosis Willie notified friendsand family in his typical sanguinenature closing with
ldquoAll in all I know I am luckyThey say 1 in 4 people will eventuallyget cancer I realize I am in a veryfavorable position to be that onecancer patient I have a greatcaregiver in Sue am retired and havegood health insurance am in good health otherwise liveonly 4 miles from a world class cancer center(EvergreenSeattle Cancer Care Alliance) and I dont haveyoung children that depend upon me I will continue toadjust to my new life Its good to have a life Willierdquo
The first year post diagnosis passed Willie endurednumerous cancer treatments and multiple surgeries Suewas faithfully there at his side persevering right alongsidehim In December of 2013 he sent out the following email
ldquoAs 2013 comes to an end I look back and countmy blessings Much has changed for me some of itpermanent But through it all you my dear friends andfamily have always been there for me I truly feel yourconcern support and prayers Thank you And of course Icould not make it through all of this without Sue She is mydriver cook (unregistered) nurse secretary CFOtherapist go-fer maid etcand my best friend Let mesay here for the record I love and appreciate her moreevery dayHappy Holidays EveryoneWillierdquo
Tumors waned then waxed as his body adapted towhatever weapon was being used to battle the insidiousdisease He bought 3 motorcycles in one year toaccommodate his fluctuating weight His emails werepeppered with updates on his health and his trademarkpositive attitude ldquoI will have about a 7 week break beforethe next 3 month round of chemo This means it is not sobad that I need continuous treatment This will let me getback to feeling good for a longer timerdquo and ldquoAfter the
next roundof chemothere willbe anotherCT scanand Ihopefully Iwill beable to goon a pillform ofchemoThis willmean IV
infusions only once every threeweeks It looks like this may bea lifetime situation but hey itcan always be worserdquo He wasrealistic but still maintained apositive spirit and a deepappreciation for Sue ldquoI candrive myself if I feel up toit Hope to get back to where Ican play golf ride mymotorcycle go to the shooting
range etc but not holding my breath My future is not rosybut I dont dwell on it As always Sue has beenindispensable I would not be here today if not for herrdquo
From mundane activities to travel adventures Willie andSue made the most of their time together whenever Williefelt better between the periods of debilitating illness andincapacitating treatment Sue had taken up yoga and hebegan joining her To her consternation he was veryflexible and quite good at it Even while he was sick heassumed side plank domination goading her to ldquotry harderrdquoat which point she would tell him to take his matsomewhere else They continued spending time withfriends and familytaking theirgrandchildren campingshopping at ValueVillage and Willieshared the joys ofstamp and coincollecting with two ofhis grandsons One ofthe roles Williecherished the most inlife was being aGrandpa He alsorelished his role as astepfather He hadcome into it latemissed all the drama ofthe younger years andwas truly a friend toSuersquos children Willieand their eldest daughter Christie bonded over resaleshopping Craigslist and EBay Also she and her friendDana enjoyed challenging Willie to the cell phone version ofWords with Friends For a period of time neither of themfelt able to play it missing the man they affectionatelydubbed ldquoThe Willsterrdquo
During those three years Sue and Willie battled his cancertogether Knowing the inevitable outcome they were drivento have some very meaningful conversations Not once didWillie lash out and ask ldquowhy me They made excursionsplanned around his chemo schedule They traveled toCalgary for the purpose of renting a motor home - it was atrial run to see if they wanted to purchase one In it theytraversed Canada visiting Drumheller and the largest

Willie organized a cruise to Alaska with his highschoolfriends One of Sue and Willies most memorable trips wasto Vegas in the summer of 2014 Willie went with thepurpose of inner tubing in Mandalay Bay as well asshopping at the store made famous by one of his favoriteTV shows Pawn Stars They toured Zappos and drovethrough Red Rock National Park
Coming back to reality Sue and Willie continued topersevere against an inexorable killer Willie continued tofill friends in on his status and remained steadfastly calmand optimistic
ldquoStarted another 12 week chemo sessionyesterday It is a different regimen as the previous one wasnot working though in reality at this point there is nomagical cure all for my type Sue and I remain upbeatthrough the good and not so good days Again I could notdo this without her and all your kind thoughts and prayersOK off to check out some garage salesrdquo
ldquoRemember my cancer is not curable buttreatable The doctor says it will eventually break throughwhich means it will change form A different treatment willthen be needed I have fully recovered from my varioussurgeries My weight is back to normal if not a bit over Iam not in constant pain and can do most typical dailyactivities but fatigue is never far away I rest a lot notunlike a house cat who sleeps 20 hours a day Im notquite that bad but must plan out my choresoutings withthat in mind As always Sue is the ultimate caregiverhellipEnough about me hope all is well with you and yoursLaterWillieGo Hawksrdquo
In one of his final emails sent tofriends in June 2015 Williewrote the following
ldquoI had a visit to theemergency room for high feverand bladder blockage Theyinsisted I have a scan that nightFound more tumors basically inthe mid back and sacrum Istarted radiation the next week
The radiationfor me was toattack thetumors thatwere growing inthe bone andsoft tissueareas Thepressure fromthese was themain pain I had10 consecutivedays ofradiation havebeen veryeffective I havereduced theamount of painmeds This has helped clear my thoughts and I generallyhave not felt this good in a long time Throughout it all Imust say Sue has been invaluable It is not anexaggeration to say she has saved my life at least twiceTogether we are under a lot of stress over this whichunfortunately does bubble over sometimes This is anotherpart of fighting cancer

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you
ESR memories of Willie Sato
e a s t s i d e r u n n e r s

know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington
RIP my friend

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

William Hideo Sato was born July 19 1952 in OlympiaWA the fifth of 6 children who spanned 14 years Hisparents were Japanese Americans who were interned atTule Lake during World War II but released before Williersquosbirth He had a happy childhood growing up on the PugetSound and he adored his parents His father organizedbaseball teams and his mother taught women how tosew Even as a child he was creative a deep thinker andpossessed his characteristic sense of humor andoptimism He graduated from Olympia HS in 1970 andattended Western Washington University for 7 yearswhere he completed his degree in psychology (1974)continuing in classes for Industrial Design He thought hewould get married young and have children but that didnot happen until he married Sue as a 44 year old andacquired her three daughters They were together for 22and a half years and married for 18
In addition to working at GTE and Verizon for 32 yearsand as a driving instructor for Swerve Williersquos life wasfilled with various diverse interests and hobbies Heembraced running motorcycling golf yoga bass guitarand going to the gun range He had an amazing sense ofhumor with an understated dry wit and loved thecomedians George Carlin Mike Birbiglia Jim GaffiganLouie CK Lewis Black Jeff Dunham and Bill Burr Hiswide-ranging accomplishments included climbing MtRainier and Mt Baker running team races several halfmarathons and one full marathon He was one of thefounding members of ESR President of the club 199293and race Director of Mt Si for 9 years He and Sueremodeled their home from a rambler to a two story - trulya life achievement
Willie wasnt one to make demands of people and oftenexpressed to Sue that he fully gave her his support (thetypical approach he took throughout their marriage) Healso was an avid garage sale shopper and seller and aCraigslist devotee These pursuits combined with an
entrepreneurial spiritspawned hismoney makingbusiness onEBay Williealsovolunteered atHabitat forHumanity inthe Bellevuestore was a
math and reading aideat local elementaryschools and heassembled bikes anddrove Santa Clausaround to makedeliveries for theForgotten ChildrenrsquosFund at Christmas time
According to SueWilliersquos Japanese soulalways wanted to giveeverything future lifeHe could not bear towaste or discardanything evenstraightening bent nailsHe kept all kinds ofthings around thatmight somehow be useful in the future repurposing them -once surprising Sue with a knitting caddy he made fromloose odds and ends He had an old SAAB in the garagethat he parted out from the seats to the wheels to theelectrical wiring until it was just a body Then someonetook that too
One of Willies favorite TV shows was American Pickersloving the thrill of the hunt One of the last garage sales hewent to was held by 2 elderly sisters in Bellevue Heboughtan oldarmynavy dufflebag withabrokenzipperHe paid$10 toget itfixedand wasable to sell it on EBay for $7500 because it was a relicThe sisters had an old barn and he asked them if hecould go through it Flashlight in hand (just like his heroeson American Pickers) he found a golf bag with clubs Hewas going to offer them $20 but they asked for $10 Hesold it online for $50 He also was once able to sell asingle club for $100
Willie turned 60 in July of 2012 one month later he wastold he had Stage 4 colon cancer Self contained andstoic in nature he faced it with his trademark humor and

optimism despite the initial shock ofhis diagnosis Willie notified friendsand family in his typical sanguinenature closing with
ldquoAll in all I know I am luckyThey say 1 in 4 people will eventuallyget cancer I realize I am in a veryfavorable position to be that onecancer patient I have a greatcaregiver in Sue am retired and havegood health insurance am in good health otherwise liveonly 4 miles from a world class cancer center(EvergreenSeattle Cancer Care Alliance) and I dont haveyoung children that depend upon me I will continue toadjust to my new life Its good to have a life Willierdquo
The first year post diagnosis passed Willie endurednumerous cancer treatments and multiple surgeries Suewas faithfully there at his side persevering right alongsidehim In December of 2013 he sent out the following email
ldquoAs 2013 comes to an end I look back and countmy blessings Much has changed for me some of itpermanent But through it all you my dear friends andfamily have always been there for me I truly feel yourconcern support and prayers Thank you And of course Icould not make it through all of this without Sue She is mydriver cook (unregistered) nurse secretary CFOtherapist go-fer maid etcand my best friend Let mesay here for the record I love and appreciate her moreevery dayHappy Holidays EveryoneWillierdquo
Tumors waned then waxed as his body adapted towhatever weapon was being used to battle the insidiousdisease He bought 3 motorcycles in one year toaccommodate his fluctuating weight His emails werepeppered with updates on his health and his trademarkpositive attitude ldquoI will have about a 7 week break beforethe next 3 month round of chemo This means it is not sobad that I need continuous treatment This will let me getback to feeling good for a longer timerdquo and ldquoAfter the
next roundof chemothere willbe anotherCT scanand Ihopefully Iwill beable to goon a pillform ofchemoThis willmean IV
infusions only once every threeweeks It looks like this may bea lifetime situation but hey itcan always be worserdquo He wasrealistic but still maintained apositive spirit and a deepappreciation for Sue ldquoI candrive myself if I feel up toit Hope to get back to where Ican play golf ride mymotorcycle go to the shooting
range etc but not holding my breath My future is not rosybut I dont dwell on it As always Sue has beenindispensable I would not be here today if not for herrdquo
From mundane activities to travel adventures Willie andSue made the most of their time together whenever Williefelt better between the periods of debilitating illness andincapacitating treatment Sue had taken up yoga and hebegan joining her To her consternation he was veryflexible and quite good at it Even while he was sick heassumed side plank domination goading her to ldquotry harderrdquoat which point she would tell him to take his matsomewhere else They continued spending time withfriends and familytaking theirgrandchildren campingshopping at ValueVillage and Willieshared the joys ofstamp and coincollecting with two ofhis grandsons One ofthe roles Williecherished the most inlife was being aGrandpa He alsorelished his role as astepfather He hadcome into it latemissed all the drama ofthe younger years andwas truly a friend toSuersquos children Willieand their eldest daughter Christie bonded over resaleshopping Craigslist and EBay Also she and her friendDana enjoyed challenging Willie to the cell phone version ofWords with Friends For a period of time neither of themfelt able to play it missing the man they affectionatelydubbed ldquoThe Willsterrdquo
During those three years Sue and Willie battled his cancertogether Knowing the inevitable outcome they were drivento have some very meaningful conversations Not once didWillie lash out and ask ldquowhy me They made excursionsplanned around his chemo schedule They traveled toCalgary for the purpose of renting a motor home - it was atrial run to see if they wanted to purchase one In it theytraversed Canada visiting Drumheller and the largest

Willie organized a cruise to Alaska with his highschoolfriends One of Sue and Willies most memorable trips wasto Vegas in the summer of 2014 Willie went with thepurpose of inner tubing in Mandalay Bay as well asshopping at the store made famous by one of his favoriteTV shows Pawn Stars They toured Zappos and drovethrough Red Rock National Park
Coming back to reality Sue and Willie continued topersevere against an inexorable killer Willie continued tofill friends in on his status and remained steadfastly calmand optimistic
ldquoStarted another 12 week chemo sessionyesterday It is a different regimen as the previous one wasnot working though in reality at this point there is nomagical cure all for my type Sue and I remain upbeatthrough the good and not so good days Again I could notdo this without her and all your kind thoughts and prayersOK off to check out some garage salesrdquo
ldquoRemember my cancer is not curable buttreatable The doctor says it will eventually break throughwhich means it will change form A different treatment willthen be needed I have fully recovered from my varioussurgeries My weight is back to normal if not a bit over Iam not in constant pain and can do most typical dailyactivities but fatigue is never far away I rest a lot notunlike a house cat who sleeps 20 hours a day Im notquite that bad but must plan out my choresoutings withthat in mind As always Sue is the ultimate caregiverhellipEnough about me hope all is well with you and yoursLaterWillieGo Hawksrdquo
In one of his final emails sent tofriends in June 2015 Williewrote the following
ldquoI had a visit to theemergency room for high feverand bladder blockage Theyinsisted I have a scan that nightFound more tumors basically inthe mid back and sacrum Istarted radiation the next week
The radiationfor me was toattack thetumors thatwere growing inthe bone andsoft tissueareas Thepressure fromthese was themain pain I had10 consecutivedays ofradiation havebeen veryeffective I havereduced theamount of painmeds This has helped clear my thoughts and I generallyhave not felt this good in a long time Throughout it all Imust say Sue has been invaluable It is not anexaggeration to say she has saved my life at least twiceTogether we are under a lot of stress over this whichunfortunately does bubble over sometimes This is anotherpart of fighting cancer
All in all I am doing as well as I could have hoped for Weassume I will resume chemo treatments after recovery fromradiation Tomorrow we see the chemo oncologistRadiation continues healing for 8 weeks after radiationends so hopefully even more pain relief is in site
Weather has been great so this helps us in general I havelittle projects around the house and hobbies -EBayCraigslist garage sales etchelliphellipHope you all are in good health and spirits Life continuesto be (mostly) beautifulWillierdquo
On August 9th Willie finally lost his battle against aconstantly adapting and unbeatable foe After three yearsof courageously giving his all he passed away at homewith Sue at his side He was preceded in death by hisfather Susumu Sato and sister Dorothy Brooks He wassurvived by his mother Miyoko Sato his wife Sue Satohis children Christine Schultz (Steve) Shelley Wright

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you
ESR memories of Willie Sato
e a s t s i d e r u n n e r s

know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington
RIP my friend

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

optimism despite the initial shock ofhis diagnosis Willie notified friendsand family in his typical sanguinenature closing with
ldquoAll in all I know I am luckyThey say 1 in 4 people will eventuallyget cancer I realize I am in a veryfavorable position to be that onecancer patient I have a greatcaregiver in Sue am retired and havegood health insurance am in good health otherwise liveonly 4 miles from a world class cancer center(EvergreenSeattle Cancer Care Alliance) and I dont haveyoung children that depend upon me I will continue toadjust to my new life Its good to have a life Willierdquo
The first year post diagnosis passed Willie endurednumerous cancer treatments and multiple surgeries Suewas faithfully there at his side persevering right alongsidehim In December of 2013 he sent out the following email
ldquoAs 2013 comes to an end I look back and countmy blessings Much has changed for me some of itpermanent But through it all you my dear friends andfamily have always been there for me I truly feel yourconcern support and prayers Thank you And of course Icould not make it through all of this without Sue She is mydriver cook (unregistered) nurse secretary CFOtherapist go-fer maid etcand my best friend Let mesay here for the record I love and appreciate her moreevery dayHappy Holidays EveryoneWillierdquo
Tumors waned then waxed as his body adapted towhatever weapon was being used to battle the insidiousdisease He bought 3 motorcycles in one year toaccommodate his fluctuating weight His emails werepeppered with updates on his health and his trademarkpositive attitude ldquoI will have about a 7 week break beforethe next 3 month round of chemo This means it is not sobad that I need continuous treatment This will let me getback to feeling good for a longer timerdquo and ldquoAfter the
next roundof chemothere willbe anotherCT scanand Ihopefully Iwill beable to goon a pillform ofchemoThis willmean IV
infusions only once every threeweeks It looks like this may bea lifetime situation but hey itcan always be worserdquo He wasrealistic but still maintained apositive spirit and a deepappreciation for Sue ldquoI candrive myself if I feel up toit Hope to get back to where Ican play golf ride mymotorcycle go to the shooting
range etc but not holding my breath My future is not rosybut I dont dwell on it As always Sue has beenindispensable I would not be here today if not for herrdquo
From mundane activities to travel adventures Willie andSue made the most of their time together whenever Williefelt better between the periods of debilitating illness andincapacitating treatment Sue had taken up yoga and hebegan joining her To her consternation he was veryflexible and quite good at it Even while he was sick heassumed side plank domination goading her to ldquotry harderrdquoat which point she would tell him to take his matsomewhere else They continued spending time withfriends and familytaking theirgrandchildren campingshopping at ValueVillage and Willieshared the joys ofstamp and coincollecting with two ofhis grandsons One ofthe roles Williecherished the most inlife was being aGrandpa He alsorelished his role as astepfather He hadcome into it latemissed all the drama ofthe younger years andwas truly a friend toSuersquos children Willieand their eldest daughter Christie bonded over resaleshopping Craigslist and EBay Also she and her friendDana enjoyed challenging Willie to the cell phone version ofWords with Friends For a period of time neither of themfelt able to play it missing the man they affectionatelydubbed ldquoThe Willsterrdquo
During those three years Sue and Willie battled his cancertogether Knowing the inevitable outcome they were drivento have some very meaningful conversations Not once didWillie lash out and ask ldquowhy me They made excursionsplanned around his chemo schedule They traveled toCalgary for the purpose of renting a motor home - it was atrial run to see if they wanted to purchase one In it theytraversed Canada visiting Drumheller and the largest

Willie organized a cruise to Alaska with his highschoolfriends One of Sue and Willies most memorable trips wasto Vegas in the summer of 2014 Willie went with thepurpose of inner tubing in Mandalay Bay as well asshopping at the store made famous by one of his favoriteTV shows Pawn Stars They toured Zappos and drovethrough Red Rock National Park
Coming back to reality Sue and Willie continued topersevere against an inexorable killer Willie continued tofill friends in on his status and remained steadfastly calmand optimistic
ldquoStarted another 12 week chemo sessionyesterday It is a different regimen as the previous one wasnot working though in reality at this point there is nomagical cure all for my type Sue and I remain upbeatthrough the good and not so good days Again I could notdo this without her and all your kind thoughts and prayersOK off to check out some garage salesrdquo
ldquoRemember my cancer is not curable buttreatable The doctor says it will eventually break throughwhich means it will change form A different treatment willthen be needed I have fully recovered from my varioussurgeries My weight is back to normal if not a bit over Iam not in constant pain and can do most typical dailyactivities but fatigue is never far away I rest a lot notunlike a house cat who sleeps 20 hours a day Im notquite that bad but must plan out my choresoutings withthat in mind As always Sue is the ultimate caregiverhellipEnough about me hope all is well with you and yoursLaterWillieGo Hawksrdquo
In one of his final emails sent tofriends in June 2015 Williewrote the following
ldquoI had a visit to theemergency room for high feverand bladder blockage Theyinsisted I have a scan that nightFound more tumors basically inthe mid back and sacrum Istarted radiation the next week
The radiationfor me was toattack thetumors thatwere growing inthe bone andsoft tissueareas Thepressure fromthese was themain pain I had10 consecutivedays ofradiation havebeen veryeffective I havereduced theamount of painmeds This has helped clear my thoughts and I generallyhave not felt this good in a long time Throughout it all Imust say Sue has been invaluable It is not anexaggeration to say she has saved my life at least twiceTogether we are under a lot of stress over this whichunfortunately does bubble over sometimes This is anotherpart of fighting cancer
All in all I am doing as well as I could have hoped for Weassume I will resume chemo treatments after recovery fromradiation Tomorrow we see the chemo oncologistRadiation continues healing for 8 weeks after radiationends so hopefully even more pain relief is in site
Weather has been great so this helps us in general I havelittle projects around the house and hobbies -EBayCraigslist garage sales etchelliphellipHope you all are in good health and spirits Life continuesto be (mostly) beautifulWillierdquo
On August 9th Willie finally lost his battle against aconstantly adapting and unbeatable foe After three yearsof courageously giving his all he passed away at homewith Sue at his side He was preceded in death by hisfather Susumu Sato and sister Dorothy Brooks He wassurvived by his mother Miyoko Sato his wife Sue Satohis children Christine Schultz (Steve) Shelley Wright

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you
ESR memories of Willie Sato
e a s t s i d e r u n n e r s

know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington
RIP my friend

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Willie organized a cruise to Alaska with his highschoolfriends One of Sue and Willies most memorable trips wasto Vegas in the summer of 2014 Willie went with thepurpose of inner tubing in Mandalay Bay as well asshopping at the store made famous by one of his favoriteTV shows Pawn Stars They toured Zappos and drovethrough Red Rock National Park
Coming back to reality Sue and Willie continued topersevere against an inexorable killer Willie continued tofill friends in on his status and remained steadfastly calmand optimistic
ldquoStarted another 12 week chemo sessionyesterday It is a different regimen as the previous one wasnot working though in reality at this point there is nomagical cure all for my type Sue and I remain upbeatthrough the good and not so good days Again I could notdo this without her and all your kind thoughts and prayersOK off to check out some garage salesrdquo
ldquoRemember my cancer is not curable buttreatable The doctor says it will eventually break throughwhich means it will change form A different treatment willthen be needed I have fully recovered from my varioussurgeries My weight is back to normal if not a bit over Iam not in constant pain and can do most typical dailyactivities but fatigue is never far away I rest a lot notunlike a house cat who sleeps 20 hours a day Im notquite that bad but must plan out my choresoutings withthat in mind As always Sue is the ultimate caregiverhellipEnough about me hope all is well with you and yoursLaterWillieGo Hawksrdquo
In one of his final emails sent tofriends in June 2015 Williewrote the following
ldquoI had a visit to theemergency room for high feverand bladder blockage Theyinsisted I have a scan that nightFound more tumors basically inthe mid back and sacrum Istarted radiation the next week
The radiationfor me was toattack thetumors thatwere growing inthe bone andsoft tissueareas Thepressure fromthese was themain pain I had10 consecutivedays ofradiation havebeen veryeffective I havereduced theamount of painmeds This has helped clear my thoughts and I generallyhave not felt this good in a long time Throughout it all Imust say Sue has been invaluable It is not anexaggeration to say she has saved my life at least twiceTogether we are under a lot of stress over this whichunfortunately does bubble over sometimes This is anotherpart of fighting cancer

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you
ESR memories of Willie Sato
e a s t s i d e r u n n e r s

know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington
RIP my friend

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Perry RodgersI will remember Willie as a humble kind hearted andgenerous soul Ill especially remember some greatexperiences participating in the Mt Si Relay while it wasunder Willies helm as Race Director And the man (and Sueof course) redefined Breakfast Seriously the anticipationof that spread at the Satos got me up and out the door morethan once for the ESR Saturday morning run they hosted
Larissa UchiyamaI first met Willie in 1996 (which was before Don and Ijoined ESR) At the time he was the Race Director for TheFalls to Gasworks Relay Don and I saw an ad and an entryform for the race in Northwest Runner and we decided tosign up for it with some friends Unfortunately after readingthe small print on the form we discovered we missed theregistration deadline by just a day or two I called the phonenumber of the Race Director listed was on the registrationform and he told me I could leave the form in his mailboxLucky for me he lived in Kirkland too
Several weeks later we went to Footzone to pick up our racepacket Willie of course was there and he recognized ourteam name (TeamCardiac Arrest) Hemade a point tocome talk to Donand me We had agood laugh about myclandestinemailbox deliveryand the fact that hewas a fellowyellow
When The Falls toGasworks Relaybecame The Mt SiRelay our team
eventually evolvedinto the BasherTrashers We trieddesperately to beatthose old guysseveral years in arow before wefinally were able topull it off Manthey were toughEven though hewas a formerBasher himself Ialways felt likeWillie was secretlyrooting for us
I alwaysappreciated Williesquiet yet wicked dry sense of humor He was a kindredspirit and I sadly miss him RIP dear Willie You were aone in a million
Kirsten LemkeMention Willie Satorsquos name and fond memories quickly fillmy mind and a smile readily comes to my face Williersquossense of humor always tickled my funny bone and I oftenfound myself doing a double-take wondering ldquodid he just saythatrdquo
One of my most lasting memories of Willie occurred oneafternoon at his house in Kirkland many years ago Williethe Mt Si Race Director had assembled a fit and mostlyfemale volunteer crew to pull together all the materialsswag and other things for the relay basically packetstuffinghellipbut it was way beyond that The volunteers
showed up at Williersquos house to find he hadarranged all these banquet tables in assembly lineform starting in his living room snakingthrough the dining room and ending outside inthe yard All the tables were covered withmountains of materials and items that needed tobe assembled and stuffed into packets Williegathered the volunteers explained the processmade station assignments and then basicallybarked the command ldquoGordquo In military style weall hopped to it and quickly initiated the stuffingprocess After about an hour with many morehours to go I noticed Willie lounging on thecouch enjoying all the action I asked him if hewas going to jump in and help so we could finishsooner He just laughed and said nohellipand you
ESR memories of Willie Sato
e a s t s i d e r u n n e r s
p a g e 7
know what he didnrsquot I guess Willie thought that if youclearly are the Henry Ford of packet stuffing you let theothers stuff the packets And there you have it I miss youWillie Kirsten
Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999
Often Sue andWillie opened uptheir Kirklandhome to SaturdayMorning runnersAfter our runsthey enjoyedhosting wonderfulgatherings at theirhome I have manygood memories oflooking at familypictures at theirhome Willie tookon the grandfatherjob He loved theposition as agrandfather andspoke about thegrandchildren
I will never forgetWillies ability tobreak-the-ice withpeople Severaltimes mentioninghis early yearsgrowing up in Washington
RIP my friend

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Tami CurtisWillie I remember his fondness for the Triple J cafe If hehad his way hed have begun and finished every run fromthose hallowed grounds I also loved the way he helpedorchestrate the New Years Rebelution runs from theWorkshop Tavern -- in place of driving to Tacoma for theprogressive Ft Steilacoom races It was a welcomealternative
Janet HoweWillie and Sue hosted breakfast for one of the first ESRSaturday runs that I attended I remember how warm andwelcoming the house was with Sue and Willies deliciousfood and Willies sense of humor I will always rememberhim as the face of ESR
Mark SmithIn my earlier years running with ESR Willie and I often spenttime at various activities As I recall Willie was as I see it andhow Glen Campbell writes the lineman for the county Thatwas Willie Never complained about his work but oftenmentioned how many years he had worked for GTE Some ofyou may ask what was GTE
When attending the after run dining activities Willie manytimes would add plenty of great comments to ourconversations
Willie and Sue were invited to a Seattle ESR party on one ofSeattles houseboats anchored at Gasworks Park The partywas entertaining and about 30 ESR members attended We allsqueezed in the boat to enjoy each others company At thetime the club was relatively small in comparison totodays membership roster
Willie was always where the party was He loved his ESRfriends At that time Dave McKinney was the Falls toGasworks racedirector Not longafter Willie tookover as racedirector Not surehow he got the racedirector job but wasdirector for manyyears Oneaccomplishments asrace director waschanging the nameto Mt Si Relay
around 1998-1999

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Some Eastside Runners set their sights on completing theirfirst ultra some aim to run a marathon time that qualifiesfor Boston and others shoot for PRs on the road All ofthese are individual goals Cross country is different itrsquos theteam score that matters most Dialog from the popularcross-country movie McFarland USA explains it
Coach Jim White Okay here we go Rememberscorings based on your individual places all right Youfinish first thats a one Second thats a two and so onThe team with the lowest combined score for their topfive runners wins
David So the lowest score wins
Jim White Thats right Its like golf
Victor You think we play golf
Many hardy ESR members forsook golf and ran crosscountry this fall
We started at the Lake Padden Relays in Bellingham onLabor Day weekend where ESR women Gabrielle Orsi andAleksandra Taylor each ran two laps to take first place in theF 30-39 division Erica McElrea and Russ Otani also each rantwo laps to win their co-ed division The ESR Silverbacks 60+menrsquos teammdashwho hold the age-group course recordmdashranthree 4-man teams and swept the podium
The next several races didnrsquot have any team scoring in thecommunity or open divisions but we used them to raceourselves into shape for the district regional and nationalchampionship meets in November and December TheSundodger Fort Steilacoom Bellevue Tomahawk Hole-in-the-Wall and WWU invitational meets all had goodcompetition and some challenging courses
The first team-scoring event was November 1st the PNTFOpen and Masters Cross Country Championships held on amuddy and slippery 6K Lower Woodland Park course
Eastside Runners women Shelly Hack Jen Rozler andPhyllis Nelson nabbed 3rd place in the F 40 division
The ESR Silverbacks turned out in big numbers to finish 2nd
and 3rd in the M 60 division (A team Brandon Henry EdBarney David Longmuir Frazer Mann Phil McBride Bteam Dave Parsons William Waters David AndersonMichael Corroone Mark Mitchell)
Other runners sporting ESR red singlets at the meet wereDenis Villeneuve who nabbed 4th in the super-competitive55+ age division and Patrick Dwyer (7th div) and OsamuYamamoto (8th div)
Patrick Dwyer said after the meet ldquoWhat was most excitingto me was the great influx of new Silver Talent Running withmost of the lsquooldrsquo guys and having a bunchof new lsquooldrsquo guys to run with as wellrdquo
The next team-scoring event happened three weeks later inPortland The USATF NW Regional Championships was laidout on 2K of rolling terrain over grass tree roots and gravelat Fernhill Park and featured a jump over a hay bale on everylap Masters and open men ran five laps and masters andopen women ran three laps The ESR Silverbacks team posteda perfect score Ed Barney-1 Dave Parsons-2 DavidLongmuir-3 Bill Waters-4 David Anderson-5 Other fineperformances were Sandra Selbyrsquos 4th place and PatrickDwyerrsquos 3rd place in their age groups
In cross country particularly in the master divisions 95 ofsuccess is delivering healthy bodies to the start line Wersquodbeen pointing to the USATF Club Nationals in San FranciscorsquosGolden Gate Park on December 12 but the ESR Silverbackssuffered some serious attrition Achilles tendinitis hit meafter the regional championships so I had to scratch Philrsquosdoctor prescribed absolutely no running until after surgeryMichael stayed home to witness the birth of a grandchildDave Parsons couldnrsquot score for the team at the nationalsbecause hersquos a British citizen etc
Despite these setbacks we managed to put two 3-manteams of Silverbacks on the start line in the Master Menrsquos 8Krace in San Francisco the A team with Ed Barney FrazerMann Bill Waters and the B team with David AndersonPatrick Dwyer Osamu Yamamoto In addition Sandra Selbyran as an individual in the Master Womenrsquos 6K race
ESR posted excellent results against the best runners in thecountry The Silverback A and B teams finished 17th and 32nd
out of 36 teams Dave Parsons finished 47th out of 110 in hisage division and Sandra Selby ran a stellar race to finishtop-10 in her very strong age division (9th out of 45)

Lance then reviewed the following four components of goodrunning form

Lance then reviewed the following four components of goodrunning form
1 Arm carriage Drive your elbow back (You should see anopening between the elbow and body as you drive thearms) Elbow angles should be 90 degrees or less and thecenter (zipper line) should not be crossed You can see avideo demonstration at the following link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=pg_aWCGR3gw
2 Land on your midfoot (located behind the forefoot and infront of the heel) which makes you feel lighter andgenerates quicker turnover
3 Lean from the ankles not straight up and down Placingweight in your heel shift your weight to the ball of thefoot keep ankles with forward momentum withoutbending at the waist You can see two videodemonstrations at the following links

4 Relax your shoulders while running turn your palms faceup and pick your knees up to increase stride length Youcan see a video demonstration at the following link
