Our hearts and thoughts are with the Buck family. Papa Buck was loved by the Women of the USMS Running Team and we enjoyed and will cherish his company that we enjoyed when he would join Beth at our events. We all adored his cute laugh, wonderful attitude and sweet demeanor. Chief Buck, thank you for sharing him with us.
