Leaving a swim meet this afternoon at the Tuckahoe YMCA, I found myself walking out the door with Marie Kelleher. As we walked to her car, we fell into the usual friendly banter about swim meets and times. “How did you feel in the water today?”, I casually asked.
“Oh, you know how it is, some days you feel good in the water and some days you don’t. Today wasn’t really my best, but I’m not complaining. I’ve been very fortunate.”
