The Gift of a Packard

Donald M. McMahon, who was superintendent of Lewis and Valentine, nurserymen and landscape architects in Rye, New York, related this incident. He said a lady left all alone in the big house with her pais leuchons, her French antiques, and her memories, was starving for a little recognition. And when she found it, like a spring in a desert, her gratitude couldn't adequately express itself with anything less than the gift of her cherished packard.
