Lynn Pertek

Pages,
Some of you may not know her but Lynn Pertek, who works the Circulation Desk, was at Boston watching her daughter run the marathon when the bombs went off. Just thought I would pass this email along to you all.

MY DAUGHTER RAN THE BOSTON MARATHON!!!!!

She had a great run of 4 hours and 1 minute......which is 1 minute longer than her goal time. Even with her injured hip she did extremely well and was happy that she could finish. She enjoyed the course tremendously and the outpouring of support and love from the community was overwhelming.

As spectators, my husband and I were lucky to get to see her twice...at miles 17 and 25.

The bombs that went off were very close to where we were. We were only a few blocks from where they exploded and Brittany was a few blocks on the other side of them. We were relieved when we connected with her and worked our way out of that area.

Many prayers were answered and we will keep good thoughts for all of those still dealing with the injuries, etc.

Again, thanks for all your support and good wishes. Peace, Lynn
