#8 Saw her in 1969 at a distance of 10 feet and my 19 year old heart was filled with lust. She had pretty skin, too! Don't know who the ugly fart with her was.

1950 was indeed a very good year! I was "lusting" in 69' as well, whahaha.

#11 Our wiemaraner (Max) killed the poodle (Oliver) she got from Prince Ranier as a wedding present. We were living in Switzerland at the time and my dad rented a ski house in the mountains for mom and the kids while he was off in the Middle East. Anyway, the Grimaldis were down the street at the end of the lane. My sister played with Caroline and my brother with Albert...used to call the old man Prince Reindeer. Dad came home froma long trip to my mom screaming "Max killed Oliver! Max killed Oliver!" Dad thought the dog had killed some child in the village. Anyway, I'm told they were understanding about it. Max was put down. I was a mere babe at the time.
Referencing the above, I probably would have had a chance to meet her when she did a poetry reading at Duke my senior year, shortly before she died, but I didn't get off my ass to make it happen. One of the regrets of my life.
She certainly ranks up there as one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Grace indeed.

#12 Women with the name Grace seem to have a certain aplomb and savoir faire--and are damn good looking and sexy too! Just look at the Ranger Up Grace again.

#20 TW: there is an old saying by that wise old sage Jerry Lee Lewis that goes something like: " The girls all get prettier at closing time..."
Not sure what he is referring to, having grown up in the conservative SW Michigan area.
