Many of you might not know, but James R. Ward, our brother and Detechment member of OSS-101, Burma, WWII. Also at age 74, set a record as the oldest finisher ever of the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon. In the Ironman, James swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles and ran 26.2 miles nonstop in 16 hours and ten minutes.

James, or as I called him, "Mr. Ward", was a retired cryptologist at NSA.
