My memories of Putnam Ivey go back many, many years. In recent years I have enjoyed seeing her at W-C. She was always beautifully dressed and groomed, usually with Ella Kyle right beside her. I will miss her. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My Sympathy to the family.
Kirk Perrow III
September 24, 2007
Dear family,
Years ago, I read this in my mother, Epps Turner Perrow's, diary. In her 14-year-old hand:
"Gaiety is the mark of an aristocrat."
Put was an aristocrat, and I intend to try to honor her by knowing it is possible to be gracious, smiling, kind, and good company--and to have a fine sense of humor--under the most trying of circumstances. And maybe, someday, I will be a little more that way myself because of her, if the occasion arises.
I always looked forward to seeing Put when I was at Westminster, and I will miss her.
And I keep her, in my heart.
