BOSTON (AP) — A Tennessee woman searching for the stranger she kissed while running the Boston Marathon this year says she finally heard back — from the mystery man’s wife.
Barbara Tatge said her daughter dared her to kiss a random, good-looking man as she ran through the town of Wellesley, where the women of Wellesley College traditionally offer kisses to runners.
After the April 20 race, her daughter took to social media to try to find the man, who clearly left an impression on her mom.
Tatge said The Wellesley Townsman, a Boston-area news outlet, passed on a letter addressed to her Sunday after the campaign generated nationwide attention.
The unidentified man’s wife said the attention was fun, but the couple wanted to remain anonymous.
Tatge said she wrote back to the wife Monday, thanking her for her graciousness and good humor. Tatge also apologized for any embarrassment the search might have caused.
