- Description
- "Sometime in the early 1940s, I vaguely remember a visit to our house by the great marathon runner,Tom Longboat. I was a small boy at the time,s so I just have the impressiong of a quiet-spoken, well-dressed, middle-aged man who was taller and thinner than my father. He shared our evening meal and stayed overnight.MY father told us later what a great runner he had been. He was very proud to have known him."
