My "Uncle" a Byram resident , won the Boston Marathon
The Boston Marathon is the most esteemed and venerable of all Marathons. Years ago , the person who won the Marathon was exalted as the Marathon "Champion of the World". When I was a boy in the then "East Port Chester" section of Greenwich , our next-door neighbor was William "Bill' Kennedy who to me was "Uncle Bill", and "Uncle Bill" had the distinction of being a winner of the Boston Marathon in 1917 , thereby claiming the title of "World Champion" Bill was often in completion with the legendary Clarence DeMar. After the U.S entered WW2 , "Uncle Bill" took me aside and told me that at the night of the neaxt full moon, he and I were going "secret mission"; did that get me excited!.
