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--
