Mother Nature tried hard to ruin Tunnel to Towers Weekend. It failed. Miserably. Hell of an event this year as it is every year.
Saturday, September 23
The inclement weather caused us to amend our plans. Instead of placing our flags at the Memorial and then eating at O'Hara's, Gidg, Margaret, and I ate dinner first and then - in the gloaming - walked over to the Memorial and placed our flags.

The rain did not abate on Sunday morning. Gidg and I walked to Pier 11 in the rain, took the ferry to Brooklyn in the rain, and then stood in the starting area in Red Hook, Brooklyn for two and one-half hours waiting for the race to begin. We were joined there by the great Arnold Gerst, a law partner of mine from my Weiner Lesniak days, who drove down in the rain from Connecticut in the wee small hours of Sunday morning to take part in the Tunnel to Towers for the first time.
