Because of the limitations from the coronavirus pandemic, long-distance running was one of the few things that Wilton teens Ryan Schriber and Zach Dedrick could do together while still being safe.

What do you do to memorialize someone whose passion for getting involved in the community was larger than life? You find a way to keep that going, even 20 years after he’s been gone. That’s what the Wall family did to honor their patriarch, Arthur Wall, after he passed away in 1999.
When community mainstay Arthur J. Wall died suddenly of a heart attack in 1999, his widow and three sons struggled to make sense of their loss. “It really came out of nowhere, it was just a shock to us all,” Kevin Wall, his youngest son, said.
