I met Nettie for the first time in the early Summer of 2001 in Alexandria, Virginia. Her sister Edith and I were friends since the early 70’s. So naturally, over the years, I had heard much about Nettie from Edith, her younger sister, several years her junior. So in a way, Nettie was more of a mother to Edith.
We spent that day visiting museums in DC and catching up. It was a joyful day and I had a chance to get to know Nettie a little better.
Although we never had another reunion with Nettie, I still remember her fondly as my friend’s Big Sister, and of course often heard Edie talk about her with love and fondness!
