Description
Elsa O'Callaghan is the daughter of Mike O'Callaghan and graduate of the University of Southern California. The second profiler, Geoff Parkhill, is a Computer Science Major and has one year left at the University of Southern California. [Profiler bio] Michael O’Callaghan was the only boy in a family of five children. Growing up in Arizona, Mike became an avid distance runner, competing at a collegiate and national level. When his draft notice came in December of 1972 for the Vietnam War, he reported for his physical evaluation, only to be turned away for inadequate health standards. Three weeks later, he ran the best marathon of his life. Health, for the military, is relative. Mike’s parents were relieved, and his mother offered him a bus, plane, or train ticket to Canada before he was to re-report the next year. Fortunately for Mike and his family, the war ended before he could report to the draft board again. Mike stills lives in Arizona and is married to Jeni O’Callaghan. Together, they have three children. Mike works as a middle school math teacher, and is still fully involved in coaching track and field and cross country. He is still running marathons. [Profile bio]
