Seymour's 'marathon man' inspires


Despite a heart condition, Seymour resident Walter Schuttler had a plan and he ran with it. 

After completing marathons in 20 states, Schuttler started thinking about running a marathon in every state. 
And as of last June in Anchorage, Alaska, he accomplished his mission. 

The certificate below says it all: 


I was pleased to meet Schuttler last week at Bungay School in  Seymour, where he works as a custodian, to interview him for a story about his accomplishments. It was published Monday.

 

Schuttler, 61, certainly inspired me and said he hopes to inspire others who may be dealing with medical issues to get out and do their best.

Schuttler had a goal and he stuck to it, and he deserves plaudits for his determination.
