We have added a new way to help us out. We need to know who you are if you are interested in helping complete this project.
In many ways, we’ve already succeeded in capturing many of the stories surrounding key moments that were special to Coach Max Goldsmith and those who ran under him as athletes. However, weaving together these various threads of the overall story is far from finished. We have more to document. We have more research to do. We will ultimately produce a program that will hopefully honor all of those involved.
If you are interested in seeing this happen, PLEASE COMPLETE THE SUPPORT FORM found on this web site. It is under the menu option of CONTRIBUTE or you can CLICK HERE to get to the form.
Thank you.
