Captain Wayne Longo of the ISP will run his 23rd Coeur d’Alene Marathon on Sunday (May 27). His daughter Megan is finishing her junior year at Albertson College of Idaho where she’s an Academic All American on the ACI cross country team. While her proud papa takes some credit for her running genes, he deflects his due over the fact that he and Ginny’s double major daughter (physics and chemistry) is excelling in scientific endeavors. The talented Miss Longo, a Coeur d’Alene grad, was selected for a coveted paid physics internship at the Idaho National Lab this summer in Idaho Falls, the only one offered. She selected the INL offer over a research internship at the National Observatory in New Mexico for astronomy. Kudos, Megan! -- Kerri Thoreson/Main Street column, Coeur d'Alene Press (5/23/07)

Question: Anyone have a trivia note on the third candidate, Capt. Steve Childers?
