When was the Finish Line on Exeter St?
The same spot today.
The BAA Building is to the right
The finish was on Exeter because the Boston Athletic Association building was on the site of what is now the McKim Building of the BPL.
Far right
Kelley is on the far right in the bottom picture. Here he is finishing in 1945: Pic

Thanks!
My father pointed Johnny out
My father pointed Johnny out to me during a mid-late 1960s race. One of the true Massachusetts greats.
Exeter st?
Why are they coming up Exeter Street?
