[b]Is this the end of Gus?[/b]

Unread postby VerticalAssault » Thu Oct 03, 2002 10:55 am

I got to jump with Gus at the end of the summer at the Gettysburg vault picnic. He said he would be posting end of the year stuff but I hav'nt got any newsletters in a long time. Is he missing me? Has anyone else got anything form him?

Nope I have sent him gobs of stuff in the past month or two and haven't heard anything... but I dunno it seems like he does that from time to time... Takes a break y'know :P

I dunno I sure hope we all hear back from him before too long! :)

Well, I sure hope not.....

He was my go to guy when I needed, results, statistics, rankings...etc.

I bet he'll be up an running again one indoor season starts. He's in his off season, just like we are. :D

But, responding to rainbowgirl28's last replay.....I do know something, unfortunately it's not about Gus.

Longest word in the English language.........pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

In a field of over 122,000 headwords, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis beats out its closest competitor (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) by 11 letters. :P

whats that word mean?
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
-Stephen King

Yeah, I want to know. But I always looked forward to my VaultnGus newsletters, and I haven't gotten them in a long time. :(
Pole Vaulters get high!

Well the newsletters are usually far and few between this time of year... but he never did any kind of year end wrap up like I know he wanted to... and never replied to any of my emails :(

He's probably just busy having a life. :P Still it would be nice to know for sure if he is coming back.
