Meeting Fred Lebow

At the start of the Westchester Half-Marathon, I was standing in the eight-minute-pace section. Whom did I see? Fred Lebow! As soon as I saw him, I greeted him and said, "Good morning."

He said, "I will see you next week at the hundred-miler."

I said, "Definitely I will be there."

Every year our team counts laps at the hundred-mile race.
