a word about the medal that statue honoring Fred is wearing. Yes, that is a 2006 MDI Marathon Medal. In what has become a tradition for our MDI contingent (where we are part of the VIP program at the New York City Marathon) we present Fred with a medal as we have for the last 3 years. One of his personal assistants Sandy Sislowitz that still works for the NYRRC told us that she knows Fred would love being honored in this small way. Vive' Fred! --Previous Message-- : I just finished Inside the World of Big-Time : Marathoning which was written by Fred : Lebow. Besides just being a great book, : anyone who particpates in the creation of : marathon history should read this; whether : you're running, volunteering, or : officiating. It really shows all the work : that goes on behind the scenes before race : day -- marathon race directing is a fulltime : job, 365 days a year. : : Viva le Fred! : : : : : Fred at the finish of the 2006 NYC Marathon : wearing his MDI 26.2 medal :
