Torch
"A Toast to Anna"
John K Nusbaum
02-25-06

Years ago, a spark was ignited and, its glow, gradually grew quite bright
Reston Runners presidents took their turn at carrying the flame, until this very night

Now it is Anna's turn to pass the torch and, what a stunning job she has done
Balancing the needs of family, profession and, Reston Runners interests, while still finding time to run

Moreover, while Anna was doing this most remarkable job, she was helping us to do our best
For no matter what the duty or task we tackled, while she was president; we were equal to the test

So let us raise our glasses high and toast Anna; for all that, she has done
She is truly an inspiration to all who will follow for, in our book, she's number one
