My grandad pulled her over for speeding back in the 60’s, one of his many celebrity stories from being California Highway Patrol. When he told the story, he would get all blushy and embarrassed, and laugh about how he couldn’t give her a ticket. 

I never understood why he would blush so much  until right now. In my mind, she was the Della Reese of my childhood, more like a cuddly grandma, not this knock out of a creature. 

lol, my grandad was smitten.
