From the book, I MET A GREAT LADY

When Margie entered a room, you knew it. Her beauty made you think of queens and movie stars, but her stern commands required you to pay attention. Neighbors and friends liked Margie for her energy and good will.

And as much as Ivy Ingram loved her big sister, Margie, she couldn't help but feel inadequate standing next to her. No one could compare to Margie, so smart and accomplished.

If funds needed to be raised for a family burned out of their home, Margie baked pies and sold them. If her brothers' pants needed patching, Margie hauled out the Singer sewing machine. When Ivy won the opportunity to meet Mary McLeod Bethune, Margie drove Ivy to Bethune Cookman College in Daytona.

Margie was a college junior and bound to become a great lady herself—one day.
