CONWAY — Robert S. Graustein II never met his grandfather, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Robert S. Graustein, who was killed in Vietnam on Dec. 21, 1972, but on Saturday, July 28, the 15-year-old from North Conway never felt closer to him.

Bobby, running in memory of his grandfather for the second year in a row, was among more than 2,000 people to participate in the ninth annual Run to Home Base, presented by New Balance at Fenway in support of Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program.
