Jeff Skiles has his own definition of a hero, and itâ??s one that doesnâ??t necessarily jibe with his inner fabric.
â??A hero is someone who runs into a burning building or something like that,â? Skiles said. â??We were just doing our job.â?
To a nation of admirers â?? and 150 people in particular â?? the Oregon resident, who will serve as Grand Marshal for Saturdayâ??s Crazylegs Classic, has justifiably been labeled a hero.
