BOSTON – Standing at the finish line of Boston College's Red Bandanna Run this past Saturday, Alison Crowther bounced with energy, tirelessly calling encouragement to each of the nearly 2,000 participants in the race, waving a red bandanna back and forth. Each runner, also wearing a crimson bandanna, gets a congratulations and a smile as Alison thanks them for participating in the race, held at BC every year, in honor of her son, Welles, who lost his life on 9/11.
Welles Remy Crowther, known as the "Man in the Red Bandanna" graduated from Boston College in 1999, followed by his two younger sisters, Paige and Honor Crowther. On campus, Welles was known for the red bandanna his father gave him as a child, and which he carried with him always, from the classroom to the sports field.
