I read of Mrs. Ladd's passing in the paper on Monday and was so sad to realize that another lovely lady had left us. Throughout all the years that we visited whenever she came into the library, she proved that she was a woman of character. Always kind, always optimistic, she was a no nonsense practical lady and I liked her the first time that I met her. Her love of covered bridges made for delightful conversation and she shared details of what she'd seen every time she traveled out of the area to enjoy them. I marveled at her sense of independence and her sense of adventure. She took everything in stride, and I always felt that as a result, she taught me a lot.
My sincere condolences to the entire family, of whom she spoke often, over the years.
