2007 was the 230th anniversary of the original run made by Jonas Cattell. This year, David Jonas Weber, named for the famous patriot was given the chance to stand in on the part of Jonas. 

Shelly Castorino sent me the following write up.

There were three different groups of Cattell relatives there.  The Hurley family (her father was there and is a Cattell), the Young family and then Dave and his family. One woman was walking around with the Cattell family book.

The event was really nice and low key.  Gloucester County did a nice job promoting Jackie's project and gave a nice little speech before she presented the award to the first teen boy to cross the finish line.

Plus, there was a man by the name of Terry, who was not a descendant but had an original newspaper from 1930 about the Cattell gravesite.

I am looking forward to getting a copy of the article to add to the web site.
