Pi Beta Phi sister Gerry D. continued her annual tradition of participating in the Straub Women's 10k event this Sunday. She was recently featured in the Star Advertiser, with ten other women, for their ongoing dedication to the event since it was first held in 1978.

Gerry has collected over 33 race shirts, one from each year, which she quilts together to create a blanket. Gerry also includes her finishing times on each corner of the quilt squares.
