The coolest thing that's happened recently is a few weeks ago (at Newcastle Island) I was reunited with my first O-friend Leif Anderson, whom I hadn't seen in many years and who moved to GVOC-land in December. We used to battle it out in WIOL, an Interscholastics, even a JWOC - though he almost always outclassed me. Leif was one of the best orienteers I've ever known and possibly could have even rivaled Bonesaw for "WIOL alumnus GOAT" had he not decided to pursue other things. Still remember how cool it was to witness his 30th place in the JWOC 2005 Middle, which as far as I know was the best American placing ever until, like, yesterday. He also continues to be one of the best people I've met in orienteering - and there are a lot of great people in orienteering.
