Uncle Paddy

I was told that the Jan Peek 10K Race in Peekskill, New York had originally been named after my Great Uncle Paddy Walsh. He was a great runner who was born in Ireland and immigrated to the U.S.A. back in the early part of the 20th Century. When I was a kid back in 1976, I took a trip to Ireland with my Grandparents and the relatives in the old country were showing me newspapers clippings they kept of Uncle Paddy getting awards for his running. I thought of him today. He still run the roads of Peekskill in spirit.
