Celebrating Kay
On October 19th, 2009, Kay joined the Prior family for a 2-week trial run before joining us permanently on December 5th. For the next 5 years she gave us love and constant companionship. We are so grateful for the Keefe family trusting us with her. She had her own twitter account in the early years as well as her own blog, which includes some videos.
Looking for photos of her was easy. If there was a family event, she was there underfoot. Here is a photo gallery. It begins with a shot after she mischievously climbed up on our freshly-cleaned couch to watch TV for a few moments on Wednesday night.

Mom completes first half marathon
Dad runs 6 flat mile in Adrian Martinez Classic
Dad ran the 2014 Adrian Martinez Classic and got some ink in New England Runner magazine article:
Jack Prior of Newton Sports Photography hands off his camera to toe the line in the age group mile. “I haven’t stepped on a track to run in 28 years,” allows Prior, 49, who was a decathlete and team captain (1986) during his collegiate days at UConn. He runs 6-flat. Not bad. Prior quickly regains his equipment as the High Performance events are up next starting with the women’s 800. Boom! The top three times are under 2:02.
While 6:00.03 would have one the “First Time Miler” race (eligibility: no timed miles in 20 years), opted for faster 40-49 masters race and got 9th (results). Will be in 50+ masters race in 2015.
Got to meet 2012 Olympic Silver Medalist Leo Manzano (“Hi I’m Leo”).
A hand time would have been 5:59.9….
