After I read the wonderful obituary of your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend I was thinking about the long ago times when our families crossed paths on Weed St. in New Canaan and more recently since I have lived in Maine. When I first renewed my acquaintance with Nancy, perhaps 15 or more years ago I was the board chair of the Portland Museum of Art. Nancy had called to say that she would like to give the Museum a "nice" painting. Would we be interested in a Monet? Needless to say the PMA was thrilled. The Head Curator and I went to visit Nancy in Camden to discuss the details, but it was also a highlight to talk about old times in New Canaan. She reminded me that the day I was married in June of 1957, Watson "kids" sat on the wall overlooking Elm St. watching us come and go from the church. I reminded her that I came back to New Canaan briefly that fall after my new husband was sent off on a Naval exercise. I had a job as an assistant teacher with the Beginners. I believe that Anne was in this class? We live in Yarmouth, ME. I haven't seen your mother since she spent a night with us here after a museum event but I have such fond memories of her. Such a vibrant, lovely, true lady! She reminded me of my mother who died some years ago. This was a generation of very special gracious ladies. My best to all of your family, Anne
