Good for her. My best friend in college was a nurse born in 1900. I used to clean her house, bath her poodles, drive her places, do her gardening, wash her windows, etc, from around 1977 through 1983. She hated lawyers so was upset with me when I went to BYU Law School in 1982 but was happy that I left and that I wanted to go into librarianship instead. She had lived in Reno all her life if I recall correctly and her house was from around the 1920s.
She knew a lot about Reno and its history. Her son I believe was/is a cop so her kept be abreast of some of the investigations I had an interest in back in the 1970s and early 80s.
I used to visit with her quite a bit each Sunday afternoon and not for NOTHING as I have always liked the company of seniors.
She did not take my going back to law school that well if I remember things correctly. Not sure when she passed but I try to keep a snail mail connection with various important people in my past.
I did have to switch to helping her different days when I worked in the Summers at various places around Reno or was busy with the food service for the Junior Ski Program at Sky Tavern.
