\u201cIn college my adviser Miss Laura Wylie, head of the English Dept. asked me Senior year whether I was engaged. I said \u2018no’ to which she answered \u2018well, if you’re not you ought to be, for you’re a clinging vine.’ Well, I have had because of circumstances beyond my control, to be a wind blown tree, battered by wars and Depression but with deep family roots that have held, thank heaven.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
