Below is an old newspaper article in which Ralph
Stevenson, Jr.’s picture of the Survivors of the Run was published. Thanks to
the hard work and dedicated research of my cousin, Debby Beatrice Valenta, who
found this article, almost all of the Survivors of the Run who posed for this
picture have now been identified!!
