‘Now and then we would have a glimpse of Madonna in tank top and very short shorts, jogging around the track with her trainer. For years, we would see Jacqueline Onassis running alone, wearing a brimmed white hat and white gloves on hot days and a black knit cap and black gloves in the cold. When she died, in 1994, the track was supposed to be named for her. A sign went up on the Reservoir fence, but “Onassis” was misspelled and after a few days it was taken down, never to reappear.’
Lilian Ross
