I was given the name of Don Gatton 508-264-5509 as a contact to inquire about
volunteer opportunities. I do not know if he is the man, I did not follow up.

1403.22 Volunteers NeededMSE1::SULLIVANWed Apr 16 1997 12:1826
    By default (no one else was doing it) ended up with the task of
    organizing the remaining volunteers.  We had a reduced number of slots
    this year and were given a list from the BAA of all previous year
    volunteers who had returned their applications.  This list was enough
    to fill all available slots.
    
    However, we have been asked to handle one more job and I need 2 last
    minute volunteers.  We will be handling "mat duty" at the Wellesley
    checkpoint.  As near as I can tell, this entails working with the
    company doing the timing with the new chip system.  There is a
    detection mat spread accross the road.  When a runner passes over it,
    their chip is recorded.  Your job will be to watch the mat during the
    race and help ensure it is working.  I assume this means keeping the
    crowds from crowding in on it.
    
    I have been asked to give preference to those who have volunteered
    before.  So, if you are interested, please send mail (please don't
    call) to sullivanmar@mail.dec.com or MSE1::SULLIVAN.  If I get more
    than 2 responses, selection will be based on;
    
    	- prior experience
    	- first come, first served.
    
    Thanks,
