I greatly respected Mr. McBurney, so much so I often used his book to inspire those who thought they were too old to run a marathon. I hope I'm still able to run when I'm 104.

I was privileged to spend a few days with Waldo to record his autobiography as an audio book, and again to release it on his 105th birthday. He was a joy to be around, demonstrating a steadfast Faith, a superior intellect, and a fine wit. Our loss is Heaven's gain. I am grateful to have preserved his voice for future generations.
