She lived to be 99, and when she died, she had her 1932 chapter directory in her nursing home room, which was also given to me. I do feel it's better to wear it than store it, and that's what she wanted.

And when I finally go to learn the answer to the last question, my badge will go to someone like you. Thank you for this beautiful image.
