Dinner with Iraqi Soldiers & Bart “Freakin’” Yasso

Two of the more than 300 runners in our group of Cruise To Run folks were a young Indiana couple, Daryl Bollhoefer and Ashley Morrison, both of whom served in Iraq. We hoped we could meet them at some point during the week and as luck would have it – they were right next to us waiting for a table so we (Laura and Tutu Man Keith Straw) and I invited them to join us for dinner. Daryl and Ashley are true heroes both serving our great country in Iraq. And when they are back home in Indiana they are very involved in their local running community. We asked them what was it about the cruise that entice them to sign up and Ashley said it was easy to convince Daryl when she saw that Bart “Friggin’ ” Yasso was one of the guest speakers – and from there on out for the remainder of the cruise, my new moniker was “Bart Friggin’ Yasso.” Thanks Ashley!
