I was sorry to find out today that my godfather, Lewis Myers, had lost his wife over the Fourth of July holiday, out of town in Mirror Lake, New Hampshire. I had just heard from my mother, Adelaide Myers (Urquhart). She was a wonderful lady from France and will be missed I'm sure there too. Her grandmother's portrait as a little girl is in the Louvre, painted by Renoir. Her family I heard had to leave Paris for Morocco for being Jewish in WWII. I last saw her at their anniversary party in the Bronx. I will miss her "bon mot". My grandmother once was, Lewis Myers' mother, the nanny for the caretaker of the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, the first electric lighthouse.
