Epilogue
The end of the year drew near and Ben, Ray even Diefenbaker trained hard for the marathon. Ben was still determined to run in it.
Ben being Ben never gave up. So there they were standing on the starting line waiting for the starter's pistol to go off.
Ray smiled grew wider with the look on Ben's face as they crossed the finish line together.
Ray held Ben, "You did it Ben. I'm so proud of you, you never gave up. You did it".
Ben just held on to Ray, "Thanks to you Ray. You never let me give up. You gave me the strength to go on".
Ray Veccico and Stella moved back to Chicago after they closed down their bowling alley. They missed their life and jobs in Chicago.
So Ray Veccico was now working with Ray Kowalski after going back to the 27th.
Ben worked as an adviser and counsellor at the 27th which allowed him to work with both Ray's.
So all was good and they were happy with what they had.
