A local hero has just passed. Don Green a WWII vet served the US Navy and was accomplished marathon runner who never missed a Meriden run and competed in the Boston Marathon. Don was a huge fan of local sorts, often supporting high school sports and Masa. Don was a former head custodian at Platt and made some great lifelong friends. Don supported the local churches and clubs. Don was also an avid walker. On his walks Don would pick up debris and garbage which helps in keeping the city clean. Don will be missed. In his memory I think the Meriden Fun run for the kids should be named after him.
