God bless Marion for giving the ballet student’s mother a big bag of sheep wool. It probably helped a lot of girls. Stuffing the toes of pointe shoes with wool was the best way in those days to mitigate the pain of being en pointe.
Sadly to so many my age who grew up in N.I., Marion was just this lady who lived up at the Wapack Lodge and was a very good cook at Central School. It's great to see these posts about her wonderful life!

Amazing woman. All those activities, the amount of ground she covered, the bundle of skills she had, and the energy she exuded, were impressive.
