   After a briefing at the assembly site, all the Torch Bearers climbed aboard shuttle buses and departed to meet up with the torch relay as it crossed Staten Island.  We arrived at the starting point along Victory Boulevard in anticipation for Big Mike's run.  Mike would run 2/10's of a mile from Victory Boulevard and turn left up on Bay Street along the waterfront.


The Olympic Run on Victory Boulevard drew the attention of nearby
FDNY Engine 153 and Ladder 77, who parked right at Big Mike's
starting point and greeted him as he began his run.
