Oh they do indeed. If parkrun falls on the 22nd, We call it tutu day and some wear tutus but I've been quietly campaigning for archbishop attire as an alternative. Only one taker so far, and they were volunteering in a non-running role but maybe it'll catch on....

Richard Leakey: About my age and believe it or not I knew his father, Louis, who taught a summer seminar where I was doing post-graduate work.

The Rolling Stones were her opening act. Who (it is said by Keith Richards) taught the Stones how to dance and how to perform. Her amazing career include signing with Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.
