Betsy Verrips here of Ancaster Ont! Your story on the torch relay was fantastic and also hilarious.

Just wanted to know if you got any pics of “the kid” who was on the bridge, torching-off with the Rhona (and then later in front of the library with Adam van K.) … as that was my son, Jake Verrips! Jake is a runner with the Hamilton Olympic Club.

Your story was funny about how no one noticed him re-running the route Rhona has just done … due to the fact that he couldn’t do the planned leg down to the boat ramp.

I was stationed in front of the library and I didn’t want to risk running up to see him on the bridge, in case I wasn’t nimble enough to get back to the place where Adam was starting his run. So, we were just wondering if you or anyone you know got any pictures of him running?

Anyway, really enjoyed your take on the day!!!
