Exercise, eat right, eschew alcohol and tobacco, die anyway. Sad but
not surprising. I've had a lot, or so it seams, of younger, (in their
30's, 40's and 50's), friends die recently.

Grete Waitz died today, awfully young... 57. She won the New York

her 3rd win and the second time she broke a world record.

A few years ago I sold the silver gel print of the second of these on
ebay.. it was purchased , as it happens, by a friend of hers
who gave it to her as a present. I was mighty pleased about that.
Wish I'd gotten sharper shots - what is interesting to me in the
second one is - who is that guy with the very high number
bsting her by a few feet in that shot? I think at some point I tried
to find out if it was someone who later became something
of a star but now don't remember what I learned , if anything.
