Our very own Greg has a terrific piece in the recent issue of Orienteering North America.  Worth a read - check out page 7.  I'd say lovely and passionate writing about a topic dear to our hearts.  Greg's offered up a gigantic metaphor that's original, personal and rather extraordinary.  Chekhov would be proud.  Thanks Greg!

No.  You need to be an OUSA member and then you get ONA as part of your membership; they are not posted online.  Mine hasn't arrived yet and I can't wait to get it.  I hope it comes tomorrow.

I enjoyed Greg's ode to orienteering in ONA. There was also a very helpful article about introducing older folks to recreational orienteering for its physical, intellectual and recreational benefits. It's a shame this good reading isn't available to everyone. If you are really determined, you can contact Donna at ONA to buy back issues.
