 D WAIN
BROWN, of Roswell, NM, is a Petroleum Engineer of 21 years experience and an
avid runner and bicyclist since childhood. He is an active volunteer in his
local church, and treasurer of the Roswell Runners Club. As busy as he is,
he still found time to serve the Goddard Cross County Team as volunteer
coach since 1998. In addition to all these activities he also helps with the
local Senior Olympic competitions in Chaves County and Parks and Recreation
Community events. Bob Edwards, President of the Roswell Runner’s Club can
not speak highly enough of his Treasurer. Not only does he tell us Dwain is
a dedicated athlete but also compliments his ability to handle the business
end of running and organizing athletic events. New Mexico Senior Olympics
welcomes Dwain Brown to the Board of Directors. |
