Not only was she a very good golfer, but made quite a fashion statement in her Doris Day hat...and on top of that she was easy to know and clever and kind too and VERY funny!!!.

Sometimes at 70 I allow myself to feel old, but today I saw that many good years await us here. Most of the women in our group I had not met before, but chatting and listening at lunch to their thoughts was so interesting that at the end I felt I had made a group of new friends. Everyone that lives here has a life story and so much accumulated information and experience that being with people I had not met before is like unwrapping wonderful presents. And being with people I know feels so comfortable. There is a lot to be said for being grown up.

So glad to be here with all of you in Lower Paradise.
