I'am on page 230 of Parker new book.
I have to agree with the other post in that there is way too much basketball and fishing for my taste. It is inevitable that Racing the Rain will be compared to Once a Runner and character like Trapper John will pale in comparison
to Bruce Denton. I am trying to figure out Cassidy's age in Once a Runner.
Based on RTR he would appear to have been born in 1947(same year as
Parker). He is 15 years old during the 1962 Cuban missle crisis.
If I'am not mistaken,in Once a Runner,he beats Walker at the Fla relays and ultimately
wins a silver that same year(1976) At the Montreal olympics.
He had competed for UF XC the autumn prior to Montreal. Based on RTR
information that would mean Cassidy was 29 when he won the sliver in Montreal. Something seems wrong here as that would make him 28 during his 1975 Xc season and chances are a 28 year old would not be eligible.
Please respond.
