Thanks, Mark -- what is especially funny is that Is that I sent the
link to Christine of the building... and she just wrote and asked if
I had sent that one to the list - hehe!
(It was a "companion" to one she recently took from roughly the same spot )
Here is the other Grete W shot :

Grete Waitz died today, awfully young... 57.
She won the New York City Marathon 9 times.
I got these two shots in 1980 - that year was her 3rd win and the second
time she broke a world record.

That first link goes to a photo of a building in Chicago. Yiu might
want to check the URL.
Wish I'd gotten sharper shots - what is interesting to me in the second
one is - who is that guy with the very high number
bsting her by a few feet in that shot? I think at some point I tried to
find out if it was someone who later became something
of a star but now don't remember what I learned , if anything.
It was pretty common for fast amateur male runners to finish with the
women's winner. My friend Dave Coyne got himself on the front page of
the New York Times a couple of times by finishing just behind or ahead
of the women's winner. :)
