Lady in a seating area off the main lobby at the Sun Valley Resort, Ketchum, Idaho

She's in her 80s.  

Her husband was significantly older and died 10+ years ago.  She's obviously kept spry by doing things in town, she had walking sticks and said she hikes and skis.

Besides telling us about the happy hour specials and setting at Hotel Lamplight, she had stories to tell.

She lived in San Francisco's Haight Asbury district in the 1960s.  Got her PhD in British Literature.  Married her husband because he was a Brit.  

Loves skiing.  They would leave Sun Valley every year for two weeks in Switzerland.

Before all that, she volunteered for the voting rights registration campaigns in the South.  She knew Martin Luther King, Jr.  She said he was handsome but too short to sleep with.
