I’ve been away from the Report for a week because a week ago today, my mother, Lorna Tuck Colbert, died, and I want to thank everybody who offered their thoughts and prayers. Now if you watch this show, and you like this show, that’s because of everyone who works here, and I am lucky to be one of them. But when you watch this show, if you also like me, that’s because of my mom. So to start the show again I would like to tell you a little bit about her.
She was born just a little ways from here in Larchmont, New York on Chatsworth Avenue in 1920, the same week women first got the right to vote. She spent her summers in the Adirondacks with her older sister Colleen and her younger brother Ed, who called her “Snodgrass.”
She met my father James at age 12 at cotillion and she liked him, but she didn’t want him to know how much, so she would make her friends ride their bikes all the way across town, just to pass by his house, but then she would never look to see if he was in the front yard, which of course, drove her friends crazy, and evidently, she also drove my father crazy, because they were married and promptly had eleven children.
