Hi friends! I am incredibly grateful and ecstatic for this moment in a journey of passion that I get to share with all of you. Originally from Chicago, I moved to Fort Wayne in March of 2018, and since then, my life has been full of exciting surprises and absolutely wonderful people. In July of 2018, with some encouragement from an office co-worker, I socially signed up for the Joseph Decuis 5K... not knowing that that race would forever change my life.
The race was held at the beautiful and well-manicured Joseph Decuis Farm in Columbia City, just outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana. The run weaved through the nature-filled woods and impressive estate, showcasing the pride and joy of the ownersβ Farm to Table local produce and well-cared-for specialty Wagyu Cows and Mangalitsa Pigs. Towards the last leg of the race, I couldnβt help but notice another runner that continuously teetered at about my pace. He was hard to miss - tall, wavy silver-haired, wearing bright red running tights and highly-reflective sunglasses. We ended up crossing the finish line within seconds of each other, and I didnβt think anything else of it until approximately half an hour later when our paths crossed once again. As I wandered around the edges of the crowd, waiting for the food line to minimize, I noticed this same silver-haired man carrying wood logs across the property. Inquisitively, I asked him if he was a volunteer and if I could help...
(Before I divulge further... please keep in mind, I had only been here a few months, and barely knew anyone outside of a few people I hung out with from work... and didnβt know there was such a thing as Fort Wayne royalty.)
In any case, the silver-haired man laughed at me in disbelief and said, βNo, Iβm not a volunteer, I live here. Iβm carrying wood to the smokehouse.β
