Boston Marathon 2013 Cap
Obviously, the Boston Marathon 2013 will always be more special than most of its 116 annual predecessors – by virtue of the abominable bombings. The 1983 event was special for a different reason: our very own Chris Hanson was running; and The Shadow reckons Chris’s time of 2hrs 56 minutes was very creditable – even though he was 30 years younger than he is now.
Anyhow, at lunch, Chris proudly showed us his 2013 Boston Marathon Cap, explaining that he had not run this year, had bought the cap well in advance of the marathon, as a souvenir of his 2013 visit to Boston, and was en route for home when the outrage occurred.
Glad you escaped the carnage, Chris!
