Long and lovely article (get your hanky ready).

Spoiler alert:

It has an update that was not in the old GS thread from Mar 2015.
If you want to see the update without reading the new article, highlight the text in the quote box below.

In May, Elladj’s grandfather died.

The old GS thread from March has been archived:

That's a great article and thanks. Canadian TV did a nice feature on this last season. I wonder if his grandfather lived to be 100! He was awfully close!
