True. She was a class act.
Warren, once upon a time in the early ’80s, I saw Jean Piggott and Grete Hale talking about something or other at Cartoon U. For the life of me, I can’t remember what the official subject of the discussion was, but these gals were such natural talkers and entertainers and storytellers – and such warm and genuine personalities – that something like 3 1/2 hours flew by as if in minutes. I am not an Ottawa native, but their stories of the Ottawa of their youth were so vivid and I have cribbed so liberally from them ever since, that I am able even today to pass myself off as an Old Tyme Ottawan.
RIP.
