I met Marilyn when she was 92. I took her and friends on a Pontoon ride down the Tchefuncte River. She wanted a memory lane ride to her river house where she taught many people to ski! It was probably the best boat trip I have had listening to her memories. She missed the river so much and we shared that strong bond.
On one trip we broke down and the tow people and police came. It was quite an exciting trip back with the police speeding along beside us!
Marilyn was 93 and got the pole hook and got our dead boat into a narrow slip. She was amazing.
I am 73 now and feeling the age. She will be my role model for older age. Growing old is not for sissy’s. And she was not a sissy!
