HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — An Amish man turned heads as he whizzed by fellow runners at a recent marathon — not because of his speed but because of his unusual racing attire.
Twenty-two-year-old Leroy Stolzfus finished the 26.2-mile Harrisburg Marathon on Nov. 8 in just over three hours and five minutes, all while wearing his community's traditional clothing, Pennlive.com reported.
Anyone who came of age in the '70s will remember "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," staring Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, Gavin MacLeod and, of course, Mary Tyler Moore in the lead role. The show, a form of social commentary about being female and single, was honored with three Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series and a Peabody award for offering viewers "a consistently sensitive portrayal of a career woman in today's changing society."
Little did we realize "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" would also be a bellwether for our ongoing cultural metamorphosis.
