| Nellie Gray: 1926-2012 |
As the founder of and brains behind the event, Nellie had, in fact, done exactly this every year without exception at the March--a March which, under her watch, has grown from 20,000 participants in 1974 to perhaps over a half million this past January.
Requiescat in pace, Nellie. You will be greatly missed.
