"Granny D" Dies at 100
Doris Haddock, better known as "Granny D" passed away quietly at her home in the Monadnock foothills last night. Surrounded by family and friends Granny D departed a world made richer by her example and spirit.
At 89 Granny D had garnered international attention walking across America to bring attention to the need for reform of campaign finance laws. Shortly thereafter, she ran for the United States Senate against incumbent Senator Judd Gregg. Gregg himself remembered Granny D fondly today remarking on the passion of her beliefs and the grace with which she conducted herself.
Granny D demonstrated the power of one individual with passion and an idea in public life. We are all richer for her gift.
