In August, 1947, I traveled by train across the country with my grandmother. The telegram had come two days before. Mollie Brown was dying and calling for Gran, her oldest and dearest friend. Gran was going, willy or nilly. She made it plain and clear, seventy-nine years old or not, she would not deny Mollie’s last wish.
