Eleanor and I attended the Boston marathon. We found a good viewing location at Coolidge Corner, about two miles from the finish line. It was a wonderful family event. We didn't hear the explosions with all the laughter and applause and party atmosphere.The security was intensive, with huge police and military presence and helicopters overhead.
We intended to post photos of the event, but out of respect for the casualties, we will not do so. Our thoughts and prayers are with the millions of people who are impacted by this heinous, cowardly, crime against humanity.
We were wondering whether you had gone to the Marathon and sent you an e-mail to make sure you were both okay. Our thoughts and prayers also go out to everyone. Just read on Owen Sound Sun Times facebook that group from O.S./Meaford/and others from Grey Bruce had just gone through the finish line 10 mins. before the explosion. Thanks for posting so we know you are safe and sound! Carol-Ann and Noel
