This is a friend of mine, somewhat famous... Terri Flettrich was born in Siberia in 1917 and grew up largely in Shanghai, couriered some news photos from the Japanese invasion of that city to the US in 1937, worked her way to New Orleans' first TV station in 1948 where she hosted a children's program in the early '50s in the role of "Mrs. Muffin":

She'll be 97 this year.
