Pat Haley today

Haley is an athlete. He is 75
years old and currently resides at
and District

wheelchair suffering from Lou Gehrig's
disease, but you had better believe that he is
still an athlete.

It was Sydney, Australia in the year 1938
that a young kid from Trail. stood

and made top 10 in the long jump.
The 1938 Commonwealth Games were

carpenter and decided to bring his family
west to take advantage of the new con-
struction happening in the area. Patrick, his
two brothers and one sister all grew up in
Trail just a short distance from Butler Park
where many young kids often practiced
their track skills.

from Stanford to Chicago.

Haley remembers the first time he visit-
ed Washington State to compete for a job
on the team.

“We didn’t have track outfits,” said
Haley with a chuckle. “I got out om the
track with these guys with their flashy
track outfits and thought ‘what am I

Pat has been through alot in his career
as athlete and engineer, but he will still
never forget the Commonwealth Games
experience.

“We went by boat, so you got to know
the team quite well,” said Haley. “We left
Vancouver in mid-December and came
back to Trail in mid-March. We all trained
Tight there on the deck.”

turned out to be harder than Haley

expected.

“Those things were as fast as race hors-
es,” recalls Haley.

Eventually they did make it safely to the
happy confines of Australia and were
amazed at the preparations.

“They treated us really well in Aus-
tralia. They had us all in a big complex
and everything was good,”said Haley.
“They had a big green grass track which
was actually the cricket grounds and the
opening ceremonies were really some-
thing to see.”

After the opening ceremonies the time
seemed to go by quick and before Haley
knew it, he was back in B.C. with a gold

medal from the relay and a whole head full
of memories.

When Haley looks back, it always amazes
him how much success track has given him.
It gave him an education, a wife, three sons and an amazing life. He has some advice for future ath-
letes who look to follow in his tracks.

“If they want to succeed,”said Haley, “they better be prepared to give up a lot of social activi-
ties. In our days, we didn’t know much about training but I gave up swimming and-dancing
because I made running more important. You have to set your objectives and work towards them.
Drinking and things like that were off limits. We didn't do anything, just run. But when I look
back, it was worth it.”

Haley is still an athlete and as he battles Lou Gehrig's disease with the determination of a world
class sprinter, you have to also believe he is still’a winner. Many at the hospital have been left stupe-
fied by his will and determination, but they shouldn't be. After all, Pat Haley is an athlete and he'll
never stop running
