Dearest Emerson Family, what a fine lady.Enjoyed my visits with her at the beach cottage. She had friends in Wilson, and she was always sharper than me, remembering names, dates, etc. Ha, her sence of humor, she was miffed that no one wanted her to pick them up for bridge, she insisted to me, that she was a better driver than those, who were designated to pick her up!?! Thinking of you, wortley Vance Forbes
