I was too young to play football with Elliot but I did get to be on a track team with him. At one away meet, Elliot forgot to bring his running shoes. When it was time for Elliot to run in the 220 yd dash, he lined up in his high top work boots. The sight of a large sized runner in work boots getting ready for a sprint race brought laughs from a crowd used to laughing at Peekskill. Then the gun went off. Elliot won the race - and did easily - to the silenced shock of many. It was the most epic thing I saw in high school sports. While Elliot was a great athlete who many have stories about, I will always remember how easy going and humble Elliot was. He was just a great guy to be around.
