CONGRATULATIONS TO MEB KEFLEZIGHI!

Section: Announcements

The entire Jacobs Family wants to congratulate Meb Keflezighi who has become the first American man to win the New York City Marathon since 1982! Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist, earned his first major marathon title at the NYC Marathon this past Sunday, 11/01/2009. Born in Eritrea, the 34-year-old became a U.S. citizen in 1998. Our son Adam Jacobs, CEO of thefinalsprint.com, was good friends with Meb and his brother Merhawi these past couple of years. He knew Meb’s running goals and would be so happy for him. Adam valued his friendship with the brothers and we know he was running right beside Meb cheering him on. Congratulations again on an amazing victory!!!

Hello Jacobs Family,
Thank you so much for your message of congrats to Meb and I. Adam was one of Meb biggest fans. For me, Adam was a great friend, supporter, and advisor. We always talked about collaborating on projects together.

I know Adam would have been the happiest person on Earth on November 1, 2009. Adam, know that you will never be forgotten. I feel your spirit with me. Adam, Rest in Peace, brother!
