On a beautiful September day, Memorial Milers Tom (and his wife, honorary Miler, Lisa) and Abdul too part in the inaugural " 911 WTC Run to Remember", held on historic Governor's Island in New York Harbor. The island was home to the Lenape Indians who called it “Pagganck” (“Nut Island”), and was sighted by Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524.
It was a great event with the opportunity to customize our race bibs. I was happy to include the name of Prem N. Jerath, my friend and neighbor on the 82nd floor of the WTC. I was with Prem the morning of Sept 11, 2001- I made it out and sadly, he did not. It was great to run this race in his memory. My wife ran with the name of another friend, Marge Benson on her bib.
