To the Editor:
The Oct. 16 article about the 18-mile race and its runners, it was stated, “The oldest was Donald Younkin, 76, from Philadelphia,” according to Moira Krier, public relations coordinator for the St. Francis Parish and Center. This is incorrect and I would like the record to reflect the fact that Capt. Bob Yates, 77, of Beach Haven, was the oldest runner who not only completed the race but was awarded two medals.
