I knew Mrs. Knapp for many years, from the time I first came to Charleston. She was one of the first clients in my salon and remained one for a long time. Though I have seen her less often in recent years, she has remained very special to me. She was a kind, wonderful, elegant lady. My sympathy goes out to all of you, her family.
