Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing a little information about the people who make up Team Little Guy. Leading the pack (as usual) is Bubba, the team’s oldest member in terms of age, but who is without a doubt the youngest TLG member at heart. (By the way: nice cheeks, Bubba.)
Q: How long have you been running?
A. Since 1979.
Q: Special training you’re doing for the race.
A: CU loading … putting money in the CU and carbs in the Team Little Guy tank!
Q: Personal records for different distances.
A: Tooooooo many to brag about … BUT I never have run in a 208 mile relay!!!
Q: Favorite races you have run.
A: By far the “Twin Cities Marathon” in Minneapolis. I ran the very first one in 1982 and competed 20 years in-a-row! Personal record there: 2:58:17!
Q: How long you have been a credit union member, employee or worked with credit unions?
A: I bet my Mother signed me up in 1959 or so at the Ste. Famille (now Holy Family) Credit Union in Lewiston, Maine. I STILL HAVE THE GREEN CU Deposit BOOK! Me & the CU book have been ridden hard & put away wet over these years!
Q: Favorite athlete?
A: Eman of course. Sired by Moi in 1970!
Q: Favorite quote?
A: Tattoo on my right shoulder: “Bubba sez: Make Dust or Eat Dust!”
Q: Favorite tune on the running playlist?
A: Now lets see … “Ain’t No Mountain High ‘Nuff.”
Q: Anything you’d like to add?
A: To all our GREAT CU friends … get those donations to the FOUNDATION pouring in …
And remember: “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – single malt in one hand – a Cohiba in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, “WOO HOO, What a Run!”

No shock that once again Bubba is leading the pack… Maybe he just wanted to be the first to get his “nice cheeks” published on the web!
Bubba – Thanks for sharing your GREAT thought you left us with… I certainly have never looked at life that way. And it puts a totally new perspective on things…
Thanks for continuing to keep us updated on your training and you’re zest for life.
Keep making dust!
