The other living "lifetime member" of NOTC and GNORA, Mo Emory has served critical roles for the club through its 51 years and counting. Mo has served as president, vice-president, treasurer, and elected and appointed board member, and he was the chairman for the Mardi Gras Marathon and race director for numerous races, including the club's 50k race in 1978 and the Sugar Bowl 10k in 1979. He helped produce the club's big events early on, including the Bayou Classic 10k, the Schlitz Lite 10k, and the 20th Anniversary Run. He has been supporting the Turkey Day since the club began producing it and has been integral in the success of longer races such as the Larry Fuselier 25k. Mo even created hand-made awards for races in his wood shop. A marathoner with a 3:02 personal best, Mo could be found regularly running with the Metairie Runners, leading group runs around Metry (Pontiff) Playground or City Park from the old tennis club. Those who became close with Mo were rewarded with his homemade treats, including fudge, pepper-jelly, hot sauce and spicy bread-and-butter pickles. Even more so, the club and its members have been rewarded with his dedication to the club in tough times and good.
