17 Pax showed up in the glorious morning gloom to participate in an unexpected celebration of the life of news anchor Larry Stogner (Oct 25, 1946 to Oct 3, 2016). http://abc11.com/news/larry-stogner-veteran-abc11-anchor-dies/1479868/
Larry served in the Air Force, was a Vietnam Vet, and a UNC Grad. Today (Oct 25) would have been his 70th birthday. 70’s reappeared throughout the workout in honor of his life and especially his grace, humility, and dignity in death. Larry died of a debilitating disease called ALS, and I think his greatest legacy may be the way he died. He suffered-well because he knew where he was going and was confident in what he hoped for and sure of what he could not see.
The Pax were challenged to suffer-well as they honored Larry’s 70th birthday.
