V 9 N. 15 Pictures from Today's 123rd Boston Marathon by Ned Price

This is the second or third year in a row that that our intrepid photographer,  Ned Price,  has been at the 7.9 mile mark at Boston to take pictures of the leaders.  Here they are.

Ned lives near the course and got himself there without running up his expense account. You may recall Ned's work from last year and his historical photos from the U.S. Poland dual meeting in Chicago about 1962.  US Poland Dual Meet   click here.
