Got this from Patrick King: I'm 1/5 of the way through completing my first contract
in the Marine Corps. I’m a combat photographer and I’m currently stationed in Camp Lejeune,
North Carolina. I have my first possible deployment slated for later this year, but I hope to
run the Marine Corps Marathon in November this year in our Nation’s Capital! I hope to use
it as a way to qualify for Boston 2021!
Got this from John Elam: Good to hear from you! This is John Elam. I am doing well.
I'm currently in my junior year of college studying history and political science and am
overall enjoying myself. I recently transferred from Idaho State University to Western
Kentucky University and am living in Bowling Green, KY. So far I am enjoying the change
and the new team and am looking forward to another year of college athletics.
