Virginia Secor Stranahan was known for her interest & getting involved in many of the events taking place at The 577 Foundation. Her age did not slow her down! A gift of a golf cart made it possible for her to continue to be involved & see others enjoying themselves! Many people have a wonderful memory of a personal tour in the golf cart with Virginia.
