Front Runners New York History & Archives Project

Welcome!

Our mission is to develop an active, dynamic, inspirational, useful, and engaging resource that is:

  • A comprehensive historical record of the Club from its creation to the present day

  • An archive of important records, documents, and materials (both written and photographic/visual, as well as spoken material)

  • A place to tell our Club's story and the stories of the members of our club to future generations of Front Runners.

Message from Founder Mike McMahon

The History & Archives Project (H&A) was established in 2014, with the encouragement and endorsement of the 2014 FRNY Board, under former FRNY President Dave Lin. This sub-site went live (launched) Pride Week 2015. The project has grown and continues to evolve under the support of subsequent Boards including those under former President Steve Waldon. I wish to acknowledge that this Project continues to be truly a team effort and has been made possible only through the hard work of some extremely dedicated volunteers, including our original web-expert, Anthony Cocciolo. I wish to take this opportunity to thank each of the 2024 H&A Team members for his/her/their contributions:

Dominic Gadoury; David Dogan; David Ernst; Sybil Lamarque; Timothy Thompson; Sean O’Mara; Katrina Amaro, David Laurence and Rene Ugarte (2024 Board Liaison)
