General InterestBy Dale Cripps • May 8 2008, 7:03pmFrances Cripps died yesterday, May 8th 2008, at high-noon in Corvallis, Oregon.
She was 93 years old.
She had suffered a long illness.
Why is this news in HDTV Magazine, you should rightly ask? Frances was one of many unsung heroes who played key roles in furthering HDTV.
