: As we find by looking at the Maine Running
: History site, results as recent as the
: mid-1980's are not always 100% accurate.
: Such is the case with Boston Marathon as
: well.
:
: That said, does anyone know about a runner
: from Gorham, Lee D. Nicely, who might have
: run 3:30 in 1982 AT AGE 84? The BAA is
: trying to determine if it's real or if it
: was a typo. I would think a performance
: like this would have been statewide news at
: the time.
: See the following message.
: If anyone knows the person in general, or
: his running exploits in particular, please
: post and let me know.
: Thanks.

: Steve -- Our Media Guide has always listed
: one Lee D. Nicely, at 84 years old, (born
: 1898) from Gorham, Maine, ran the Boston
: Marathon in 1982 in a time of 3:30:03. I
: have checked later results and can find no
: record of him. I'm of the impression that
: it was a typo, however, we can't delete the
: entry until we have more definite
: information. Do you have any contacts in
: Maine who can provide any information on
: him? Only two older runners I know from
: Maine are the Mazzeo brothers and and
: Carlton Mendell Thank you. Gloria
