Quayle grew up golfing with his imperious grandfather and camping (gun in hand) with his volatile father, an opinionated owner- editor whose Indiana newspaper is known to its local critics...
...marathon started in Hopkinton, a quaint New England town with brick houses, a local pizzeria and a lambasting preacher warning us about the evils of sin. April 16th is Hopkinton's big day, and the whole town turned out-piped music, banners and an arts and crafts sale sponsored by the local church ladies. Some hardcores celebrate Patriot's Day by meandering through the sneakered crowd in costumes from...
