  • Notes 
    • S.R. Durand:

      "My earliest definite memory is the day August 18, 1908 when my second sister Elizabeth McVickar (always later known by her nickname "Glee") was born. My brother, sister and I had been sent early in the morning with Guire [their nurse] to a friend of the family's home, a couple of blocks north on Lake Drive, to spend the day. We were brought home about supper time to see our new sister in a cradle beside my mother's bed. ...One year [probably in the 1950's] when my brother, on a sabbatical leave from the University of Tennessee, was teaching at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, Mother and my sister Glee spent some time visiting there."

      Glee Durand, in contrast with my grandfather's reserved manner, is often first remembered for her sarcastic (and occasionally cantankerous) wit.
