Our own Jim Owens, the recipient of the Maxine Yonker Peloton Triumph Award, during his amazingly moving comments. He thanked Davis for the guidance and mentorship of his late father Damon (our founder), as a part of his talk. Lance then got up and said he was at a loss for words. After hearing the story of Maxine from her widower Tom, and then Jim's comments "How can you say anything after such inspirational stories such as those..." He continued to speak for a few more minutes to let the achievements of all the awardees sink in before Robin Williams came on. Lance also thanked Davis Phinney for his continued support of the LAF and for what Damon had done, and the CCC continues to do for survivors.
