She was very shy and very pretty. We had encouraged her to go to her aunt's college, a Seven Sisters School that was still all female and still is today). I think she was relieved and happy being accepted there and loved her undergrad years. It gave her intellectual and social breathing space, even tho I had people comment "Why is she going to a girls school? She so pretty!" That really ticked me off...
