IN MEMORIAM
ANNETTE - THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL
Marilyn 47-1-1 FPE
A Chicago businessman with whom Shel (Annette) recently had associated, remarked following his death that "You meet a lot of people over a lifetime but rarely do you come across the "All Ameri- can Boy. And that," he said, "was Shel."
The characterization was indeed accurate, but those of us who knew Annette can add: She was "Miss America" as well.
These words are not said lightly. For it is true that Annette had the rare quality of being respected and admired in his masculine self, being adored and envied as her feminine personality, and yes, being loved dearly in both roles.
