R.I.P. Stephen Christopher "Chris" Worth (07 Aug 1951 - 25 Mar 2024; Age 72). 

My classmate, my teammate, my friend. Safe travels, Chris.

His obituary, grave, Facebook acct, FB memorial, yearbook, and the GoFundMe page (archive) that chronicled his final illness.
The Chelmsford [MA] HS teams we were on together: '65 x-country ~ '66 track ~ '66 x-country ~ '67 track ~ '68 winter track. That last photo brings back a lot of powerful memories. Chris and I are in the second row. As you can see, he was a tall drink o' water. Funny as h*ll, too. He went on to earn his living by playing music on the streets of France, Spain, Denmark and Japan, among lots of other places. I was always amazed by his adventures. His older brother Kim (front row) went on to become a standup comic and the 1st runner-up in Jeopardy's 1998 Tournament of Champions. I sat in the studio audience and was impressed by his accomplishments, too. Kim won nearly 80 grand in less than a year. The guy sitting at Kim's left (BP) went on to become a convicted murderer. I guess none of us really knew what the future would bring.

Also: Mike Thompson.
