The Hash world lost its brightest star with the passing of Donna Rhinehart, known around the world as The Lady in Red. Her inspirational story is told by a friend who knew her well. The Beatles sang of a summer cottage on the Isle of Wight in their Sgt. Pepper song When I’m 64. The local Hash House Harriers have been running strong there since 1983. Join us for a colorful visit to incredible India. Love it or hate it, once you’ve experienced India you’ll never be the same. Beehive Babes in Trouble makes its digital debut in the May 2013 edition of Harrier Magazine. And Colonel Ken spins more expat misadventures from his Hardship Posting series.
Over 50 great HHH and running events are hyperlinked for your pleasure. The Harrier Magazine Team looks forward to seeing you on trail again soon. Happy hashing.

Loss of a Legend by Joseph Beam
O
n the Saturday before her 57th birthday, Donna Rhinehart (Lady In Red) passed away in Phoenix. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was a kind, generous friend to every hasher she met, including me. She made a huge impact on hashing through her campaign to make red dress runs the signature event of the Hash House Harriers, and to convince kennels to contribute money raised from red dress runs to charities in our communities. I don’t think she’ll ever be forgotten. She’ll certainly be missed. There is no higher calling than to make a positive impact on society with the time we are allotted in this world. In other words, is the world a better place because you were here? I believe that all the people that knew Donna would be in resounding agreement YES! We are blessed and the world is a better place for her having graced us with her presence during the short time she was here. Most will look at her participation as the motivation for a run that nearly all Hash kennels in the world do (Red Dress Run). Those of us that had the privilege of knowing her personally would consider being the motivation for, and a founder of, the Red Dress run one of her lesser achievements, although it will be what she is most remembered for.

isle of Wight by Mike Cooper
T
he Isle of Wight H3, will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary on the weekend of 26-28 July, 2013 at East Dene Centre, Bonchurch. Hashers will stay in a beautiful haunted Victorian mansion with sweeping lawns down to the sea, where the decadent poet Charles Swinburne spent his youth. He is buried nearby in an atheist’s grave. Steeped in history, ancient Bonchurch is one of the oldest settlements on the lovely island where many other Victorian poets and writers stayed, including Charles Dickens. He wrote ‘David Copperfield’ in Bonchurch. The Isle of Wight consists of 130,000 people clinging to a 22 by 19 mile rock off the south coast of England. Take away the large numbers of retired gardeners, kids, people who watch sky, people who don’t go out, people who don’t have any attitude - and you’ve got the Hash House Harriers.
