Princess Gill

As a memory aid at the Fremont Street Center For Healthy Aging, we have attached a rotating series of photographs from Mother's many stacks and boxes of family photos to the refrigerator. Theadora Joy, a visiting researcher from the Emerson Street Center for Early Childhood Development, was studying the collage of family members recently. She pointed out one photo and said "Who is that?" 

I said "That's Gill. She's your mother's aunt. I think she is your great aunt." Joy said "She looks like a princess."

I share this finding with pride, as a perfect demonstration of the unique and profound insights of our visiting staff. Theadora J. is a leading participant in the current wave of princess studies, acutely concerned with the acquisition and production of knowledge related to unmarried royal females. It is of no small moment that a specialist of such standing was able to single out this one image from among many on the refrigerator, and confidently proclaim this assessment.
