William Shaw asked Christopher Febles:

Hi Chris, Thanks for taking the time to read my novel. I see you work at Fordham. I ran at Fordham many times when I was in high school, and was even offered a track scholarship when I graduated from Trinity H.S. in 1959. I would have been running with friend, Frank Tomeo and a few others from Brooklyn Prep. I chose B.C. instead. We part company also in distance preferences and baseball teams. Me? Dodger --> Mets.

Christopher Febles Hi William,

Congratulations on your novel! It was a fast-paced, interesting and emotional read. Anything track and field-related will get my attention. I actually work at Regis HS (guidance counselor / coach) in Manhattan, but earned my MSW from Fordham University in 2001. My brother George, however, has been the track and field coach at Fordham Prep since 1989. I love the CHSAA and was pleasantly surprised to see Tim running at Iona Prep, Van Cortlandt and Randall's Island. The name Frank Tomeo rings a bell, as does Brooklyn Prep, of course. I'm happy to mention this book to my colleagues, not to mention GR and IG. Well done!

CF
