Tables were put up between the trees and an abundance of good food and deserts were provided.

She was an extra-ordinary person, poised, and self assured, tall and slender. She was admired and respected, and loved by all. Usually referred to as "Aunt Fannie" by her family and Miss Jett by her students.
