I am so sorry to hear of Stormy's passing. She was one of a kind. I did several stories on Stormy years ago concerning her DAR work, her petit point screen, and the Tamassee school, and heard many stories from her including her work in various places, her youth in Ashe, and a troublesome turtle in the pond behind her apartment. I thought very highly of Stormy even though she could be prickly at times, fussing about this and that. But she always reminded me of Jessica Tandy's character in 'Driving Miss Daisy.' The ultimate lady who always knew the proper thing to say and do, and was very proud of her lineage and her possessions. Made me feel a bit socially awkward sometimes in my jeans and clunky boots, but she was never critical of me. She is one lady I will always remember fondly.
