I attended the Todhunter School in 1935 and 1936 in the 5th and 6th Form when I was 9 and 10 years old. I met Mrs. Roosevelt and experienced firsthand the extraordinary presence she conveyed, a sense that she actually cared about me! I felt this immediately upon looking [way] up at her and shaking hands with her politely and curtesying ( as little girls did in the 1930's). I can still recall the exact spot in the front left parlor (assembly room) of the brownstone at 66 East 80th Street that was the School where I was introduced to her. She had just come in the front door, and I happened to be nearby, I guess, and one of the teachers introduced me. She said, so directly and sincerely, it's hard to describe, "How do you, Annette." I said, "How do you do, Mrs. Roosevelt."

Mrs. Roosevelt was known to me as an important teacher who taught the older girls, in the upper grades. I had the underlying knowledge somehow that she was a very important person to the school.
