Sandy asked me to post this article about Joe's win at the Colorado Velodrome at the 2002 USCF Masters National Championships. This is a great story about Joe's determination and enthusiasm!

  2. Sometimes people ask me why I like riding bikes so much. I usually say because it's fun. From now on I will relay this story of your love for all that is cycling/racing when I'm asked why. What a beautiful story and what an amazing man you are Joe. Thank you so much for being a such a wonderful guiding light for what it means to be a true sportsman and thank you a million times over for your infectious enthusiasm. This world needs more folks like you!!!

  4. Hi Joe and Sandy,
    Glad that you are able to "talk" now and I just wanted to say thank you for turning me on to the online genealogy class. Thanks to your help I was able to find my great-grandfather on the Ellis Island ship manifest,Ignatz Schneider, who came from Budapest, Hungary in 1904 at age 51 with his son (my grandfather Julius Schneider)and some other relatives.

    Sandy, I hope you are hanging in there. I tried to email you, but don't know if you have access to email or not.

    Take care,

    Lynn & Bob

  5. The news that Joe is sitting up, smiling and breathing on his own, made our day!!! We know, Joe, that your amazing spirit and optimism will see you through this tough time. And ditto to you, Sandy! We are also happy to hear that Shasta is at doggy camp and that our critters don't have the concerns we do. Love, Penny & Gene

  8. Joe, I hope all goes well with your recovery. Your story from Masters in COS is inspirational, and one if the reasons I enjoy masters racing as much as I do.
    Good luck.
