SHE Bore ten children, nine of whom have written for this journal. or worked for it, or both, and that earns her, I think, this halfacre of space normally devoted to those w hose contributions are in the public mode. Hers were not. If ever she wrote a letter to a newspaper, we don’t remember it, and if she wrote to a congressman or senator, it was probably to say that she wished him well, and would pray for him as she did regularly for her country. If she had lived one day more, she’d have reached her ninetieth birthday. Perhaps somewhere else one woman has walked through so many years charming so many people by her warmth and diffidence and humor and faith. I wish I might have known her.
