What a terrific humble Queen of Pittsburgh Political Elite and Benefactor of The University of Pittsburgh. When she talked to anyone it was in such in a caring manner and made you feel like a million dollars.
Moreover, never owned a Jet, did not travel in Limos. I recall being at the Prince Andrew Dinner honoring Pitt and the Marshall Scholarship Programs named after Uniontown Native General Marshall at the Convention Center. When it was over I was walking back to my car and she stopped me and said Hello with Henry. They were driving a 5 year old Buick and I just asked them for their Ticket and walked to the front so they did not have to, and paid for it, waited until they drove to the front of the garage. Handed them the Ticket and they drove off with a nice smile and thank you. I knew I was invited to that Dinner due to her.
Earlier in that decade, I wonder how in heck did I get monthly invitations from The University of Pittsburgh 40th Philosophy Of Science Seminars and Lecture for that entire year at the Frick Art Museum. Listening and learning for an hour from Guest Speakers speaking on their nations Philosophy of Science every month. A different nation from Greece, Israel, Japan, Germany, England, Russia, France, Italy and China. Each talked about their history and what they were doing in that area as well as recognizing Pitt has one of the leaders in the world. I had no idea many of those Pitt Professors studied under Einstein at Princeton and Andrew and Richard Mellon brought them to Pitt whereby this Pitt Department was ranked in the Top 3 in the world. They had a great dinner in particular the foods of the country that was the Guest Speaker after each lecture.
She also invited me to the Republican Convention in 1988 New Orleans and I was a Democrat and sat with Joe Paterno that was also a guest, but he was a Republican.
Finally, enjoyed a visit to her home where she gathered some people to watch the results of the 1994 Congressional Elections when the Newt Gingrich took over the Congress. She has a painted portrait of her younger self hanging right in the foyer and she looked liked Elizabeth Taylor from the movie "Giant" dressed in jeans and a scarf around her neck as if she just came back from Horse Riding! The last time
I saw her was at Chatham University's Women Seminar where Cokie Robert's Spoke on her new book and women letters in Politics. I got a nice Thank You Note and she always wrote them out in her own hand.
She will be missed and what she did for UPMC Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and America is beyond evaluation!
God Bless Elsie That Taught To Love Another Person Was To Touch The Face Of G-d, just like in Les Misérables ' Epilogue ' Finale!
