Dear Mr. & Mrs. Morgenstern,

I raced with Nancy for many years. I did not know her well, but she was a constant presence: riding in Central Park in the morning or the evening, at local club races, at races out of town. She loved racing her bike, a sport that does not attract many women, and certainly not many who participate with the level of eagerness and spunk that she displayed. She had that “never give up” attitude that is necessary in such a physically and mentally demanding sport. She never was content to just “sit in” and play it safe. At numerous races, she would be attacking the field trying to get away, or just making everybody work harder.
