None of you will know who this is, but I have to let it out.

Linda Willis passed away yesterday afternoon, after a lengthy illness. Linda and her husband Mike were well known in the Canadian motorcycle racing community, as they were long time marshals. In fact there likely isn't a pro or amateur racer, sponsor, or racing photographer in the last 30 years who wasn't on a first name basis with them. They've picked up hundreds of people after they crashed. Linda stood by her husband through his heart transplant. She saved the life of a friend, a motorsports journalist and race announcer, via live donation of a kidney. The world is much poorer for the loss.

Thanks for sharing this. You're right that I don't know them, but I don't usually know most people on this thread. She's certainly not less important than anyone else!
