From Paul & Karyn Eden

First and foremost, Congratulations to Pat & Joe for reaching the 50 year milestone. Karyn and I wish we could be there to help celebrate the momentous occasion. I'm sure it will be a blast. I'm also sure that Joe will end up singing on a stage somewhere and Pat will be dancing in the background....;-)

How did they do it you might ask. Lots of caring, sharing, understanding, forgiving, and of course love. That's what most relationships are built on. Of course Pat & Joe have thrown in lots of good humor as well. I have personally witnessed all of these characteristics in both Pat & Joe over the past 25+ years that I have known them.

Joe has been my mentor, best friend, and close running partner for over 25 years and he has shared his wealth of knowledge about track & field and life in general freely without expectations. The only thing he has not given me is slack.....! He has pushed me to the limit during every workout, but I thank him for that. I am proud to call him my brother. Thank you Pat for sharing Joe with me.

We wish you the best and hope the next 50 years will be as good or better than the last. Have a great time in Monterey and we will be thinking of you.

Lots of love,

Paul & Karyn
