The Fourth Annual Jeff Schwarz Memorial Run! What a fine tradition it is. It began on the third of August in 2011... wait. It actually began in July 2011, when the Mufti checked the Hareline and discovered a stranger had signed up to host on 3 August, at the Reston Community Center near Lake Ann. "Does anyone know Jeff Schwarz?" he inquired, via e-mail and shouting. "Is he the guy..." "I think he might be..." "Didn't he come with..." were the various replies. Receiving no response when he e-mailed the putative host, the Mufti, earning his salary yet again, whistled for help.

Since Lake Ann is rich with restaurants, a select group thought it would be easy to find one to host the On In, and settled on Kalypso's Greek Sports Bar and Sidewalk Café. Then all that was left was scouting and setting a trail! Frequent hero I'm Not Dead Yet and high-energy Mini Schlonga put their hands in the air, and chose a live set so they wouldn't need to take quite so much time off from work to get the trail laid. They did not get caught, and at least one hasher got to order flaming cheese, so the next year everyone decided we should do it again. The Second Annual JSMR was on 22 Aug 2012, again with a live set; the Third on 7 Aug 2013 (INDY and MinS dead-set that one), and now the Fourth, with Tasty Cakes pretending to be Sri Lankan.

All this is a very long way of saying that, while Rochester, Minnesota,
is a great place in which to feel humbly grateful for one's rude good
health, it's not the ideal location for reporting on a hash. Someone
better have ordered that flaming cheese, though.
