It may be better than a storyline from “Dallas.” How old is Dallas philanthropy’s first lady, Margaret McDermott? According to an item in today’s Dallas Morning News (sub. req.), she’ll be turning 98 next month.
However, we just talked with a person who learned from Margaret herself that she is indeed going to be 100 on February 18, but definitely doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
Let’s salute a fine person, who has generously given to the city of Dallas and now requests the right to enter her second centennial with grace.
JILL Rowlett says
Margaret McDermott does EVERYTHING with grace. There hasn’t been a more lovely or refined lady the last 100 years, and my money is on her for the next 100 as well!
Pat Holder says
Margaret McDermott is such a fine lady and so very deserving of a very Happy 100th Birthday plus many more happy days to follow. We will all be thinking of Mrs. McDermott with the greatest respect and with much appreciation for her philanthropic dedication.
