Tamami Smith - GRC Vice President.

Tamami Smith, is mother to the lightning-fast Smith family (Gerald & Susan) and began her term as GRC VP in 2004. Tamami has already proven her mettle, helping in many valuable behind-the-scene ways to serve the club and help keep our quality level high for the races.

Tamami, as we have hinted, is an accomplished runner in her division and has also garnered her ranking in the GRC Runner of The Year sweeps.

 Josephine Pinto - Secretary-For-Life.

Josephine Pinto is our current GRC Secretary-for-life. Josephine is also our quality control manager and one of our hardest workers. Josephine labors beside Gaynell, often helped by Gaynell's brother Norvel. Together they do the hard work of maintaining records of races dating back to Guam's pre-contact history (sometime prior to Magellan's landing!). They load and haul the GRC trailer and cones and paraphenalia to all the races in the wee hours of the morning, usually having been up to just before midnight getting ready. Sleep? who needs it!

Richard "Cone-an" Taitague - GRC Treasurer.

Richard is a very gentle and humble friend and servant of the running community. Along with Marsh, Josephine, Joanne, Norvel and others, Richard is up at the crack of dawn marking the course with cones, picking them up later and doing a host of necessary tasks in between. Sometimes he even gets to run...and he's pretty darned fast! Truth be told, during his days in the military Richard held the European Cup in track two years in a row. He was among some of the fastest in his class. Though he almost never says anything about his accomplishments, I will. Richard coaches and does much to help our youth in the sport.

We have "friendly" written all over our faces!"

 Gaynell Marsh - GRC Sine Qua Non.

Gaynell Marsh is our Sine qua Non, i.e., "that without which" there would be no running club. Gaynell, known affectionately or otherwise as "Marsh". Marsh is the driving force behind getting the GRC; generating new ideas for improving the club, arranging for T-shirts, corralling volunteers, and all the many other things that it takes to keep up the busy race schedule of the GRC. His duties require great dedication and intelligence to match, which (for humilities' sake) he masks very well. (Note the practiced look of low-key normality that he displays in this typical photo. Marsh achieves "the look" most effectively on three or less hours of sleep.)

 James Alger - Board Member At Large.

James Alger is our Board Member-at-Large. James is not pictured here because I haven't been in the Mangilao Shirley's (Shirleys, as in coffee shop for you non-locals) in ages, and besides he got married a while back and his wife resides in Hawaii...consequently, so does James! James has been a great advocate of the sport, has served as the Guam Running Club President, with distinction. James can be counted on to do whatever he commits to do...his word is his bond. We wish he and his family were back here on island. But somebody has to live in Hawaii and that's why he's called a Board member-at-large
