The presidential stride, the distinctive nose, and the neat gray ponytail were unmistakable: I was sharing the track at the Kennett Y with General George Washington!
Or, at least, Carl Closs, the Kennett Square man who portrays our first president at presentations for schoolkids and business and community groups. According to his website, "Carl is a former educator and senior business executive who has dedicated his retirement toward helping children and adults discover George Washington."
Yes, he was wearing a uniform, but not his dashing military one: only sweatpants and a gray Y T-shirt.
