I remember Arda for the first time in the mid-70s as the founder and organizer of the Debutant Ball I was an escort. Who would have known she would become my daughter’s future grandmother-in-law?
She was a classy lady—an individual shaped from a past era you don’t see often today. I liked her company and enjoyed our conversations over a single-malt scotch. I know my daughter loved her very much too. Condolences to Anita, Patrick and the entire family. She will be missed.
