Anyone who ran track in NJ should know the name Ed Grant. He passed away a couple weeks ago at the age of 94. He was the voice of NJ track and field for over 70 years and had an amazing memory. He could recite names and times from 50 years ago and knew every kids name as they crossed the finish line. On a personal note he covered races of my dad who ran for Mt Lakes HS in the 40s, myself in the 80s and my daughter in 2008.
