Area VIII’s Terry Kennedy passes

I am deeply saddened to report this morning that Area VIII has lost a familiar face.  Terry Kennedy, a long time cross country starter at many events passed away Saturday night.  Although not a rider, Terry stepped into the role of starter some years back when he and his wife Chris took over the duties of Chris’ parents Jack & Pat Ray who won a Governors Cup for their services.  As an Area VIII native, I am truly saddened by the news and the Kennedy family will be in our thoughts and prayers.  There’s nothing better for those pre-XC jitters than a good starter.
