Stephen Viegas happens to be our office neighbor down the hall at 2 Haven Street where he runs his solo law practice. He’s been an attorney for over 49 years, of which 38 have been in Reading. He and his wife Susan just recently celebrated their 49th year of marriage and this will be his 6th Boston Marathon.
