Liz Smith –
When Liz was a student at The University of Texas at Austin she was immersed in the University fraternity/sorority community and destined to get her “MRS” degree ushering her into the life of a well to do junior leaguer. Instead she went to New York City and became something that is unique to this day – a gossip columnist with morals. Liked and admired even by those she put under her magnifying glass Liz found society doors from the Brahmans of Boston to the Inside the Belt Washington Insiders open to her. All of this was and is well outside my world, but one has to admire talent and success in any field. RIP
