Sue Ann Martin 5K

Today Mia and I participated in the 3rd Annual Sue Ann Martin 5k.  Sue Ann’s husband Tom was my boss at one point when he was the state comptroller.  Sue Ann tragically died in 2010.  It was a total shock and completely unexpected.  Here is a woman who ran daily and was in great shape. …
