She was my spouse's great aunt on her mother's side. She was a public school teacher, in DC, who eventually became superintendent of the DC school system. She befriended and mentored students who were outcasts. She had tea with Eleanor Roosevelt, in the White House, to discuss her idea of establishing a student government in public high schools.
