Oddly enough, I used that exact word in the intro, and then rephrased it. She was an extra woman.
Poor Anthony! Do we know if he ever called your grandmother? Or did her concern "come to naught"?
If you want to write me a letter about the follow up, I'll have Anthony let you know what happened.
Good thing she did not intersect with Twitter. She'd have been quite the replyguy.
One extra detail is that along with sending the letter to Anthony, she sent a copy to everyone in her family, so that we may stay informed of the major issues she was dealing with.
I'm curious. Did she send copies to the family by email or snail mail? If the latter, that's... extra extra.
That's true commitment to the bit
I'm on your grandmother's side. "We have whole new way of thinking about retirement living!" That kind of advertising copy infuriates me.
Anthony shouldn't have had his website diss the previous administration like that.
That is an impressive letter. She conveys quite successfully, "you may have underestimated me in our last conversation. "
Grandma is bureaucratically terrifying in a way I very much respect. I kind of want to know whether she typed the letters on carbon paper to provide hard copies to her family . . . This was how my grandfather communicated to his children before email. Thanks for posting this one, heebie.
Yes on carbon copies! By 2008 she was on a computer with a printer though. I think the switch probably happened in a timely manner in the late 80s/early 90s. She retired in 1995, I believe.
