his finish of 3 hours, 14 minutes
and 27 seconds to place 1,902nd
of approximately 12,000 runners,
David Treber, son of Harry
and Myrtle Treber, ran the 26.2
mile course in 25854 for a
placing of 715th. Treber works
at the Washington, DC, YWCA.
The day before the race,
Treber spotted the familial
Eastern High class jacket and
asked the wearer what schoo,
the " E" represented. Easterr
exchange student, Aad Robben,
stated I' Eas t er n ' I, to which
Treber asked " Greentown?"
Treber then introduced himself
and told of his Greentown
connection. Robben was on a
three city tour with the
Exchange Foundation. The tour
included Boston, New York City
and Washington, D. C. He was not
able to watch the race, as the

Association
Dissolves
The April 16 meeting of the
Greentown Area Business
Association proved to be the
final one. Those in attendance
( plus assent from other
members by their absence)
voted to dissolve the association
and become members of
Greentown Main S t r e e t
Association, Inc. Former GABA
members will be placed on
committees of Main Street.
Several of those persons are
presently on Main Street
committees. The overlapping of
purposes was one consideration
in the decision to disband GABA.
The four committees of the Main
Street Association are Design,
Economic R e s t r u c t u r i n g ,
Promotion, and Membership t
Development.
