I met Kevin in 1976/77 at the Owaraka running club in Auckland. I do have a few nice memory that I could share, but I think all who met Kevin will have good memory to share , so this could get a bit boring! 🤣But I remember this great athlete not just as a very good runner but more important a truly splendid person. Always willing to help and to provide encouragement to us snails......I am not surprise from this interview to find that he is been very successful also in his chosen profession. Kevin won marathon not only because he was fast , but also because he was running with his brain as well with his legs!!!! Intelligent, possessing natural speed, and once again, fantastic nature. Love to meet you again Kevin, but perhaps (Understandably) you don't remember me. 😄 All the very best Mario Bertora. 🐌
Thanks, Greg! We talked off-camera about his days with Muriwai Surf Lifesaving Club, and he really loved that world. We'll catch up as soon as is practical. I haven't been in Auckland since July 2015 when we buried Mum.
