There was some traffic here about Hazel Wolf, stimulated by a photo of her in a yak, at age 100, in Parade magazine. Well, Hazel died this week. An excerpt from an article in the Seattle P-I (http://www.seattlep-i.com/local/hazl21.shtml): ---- Hazel Wolf, for virtually all of her 101 years a fighter for the environment and the little guy, died in a Port Angeles nursing home Wednesday night, just 19 days after achieving her goal of living into the third millennium. [snip] "What is Hazel's legacy?" asked Chris Peterson, director of the Seattle Audubon Society and Ms. Wolf's friend for upward of 20 years. "We will take action. If you see something wrong in the world, fix it." [snip] "You say the most offensive things in an inoffensive way," a timber industry official wrote to her after she spoke at an industry conference. [snip] One last Hazel Wolf story, courtesy of Peterson: "I introduced her to my daughter one day, when my daughter was very young." "Hazel leaned over and said 'What's your name?' My daughter said 'Sierra.' And Hazel said, 'What a pretty name. Did you know my parents named me for a nut?'" ------------- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR Longtime Hazel fan *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
