Every member of Mrs. Wilson's immediate family is a Carolina graduate, her husband, her three children. her brother, sister, brother - in - law, daughter-in-law, and her son-in-law all having re ceived their education at the uni versity. On March 4, 1947, Mrs. Wilson was preparing to sail to Austria to visit her eldest daughter who was stationed there by request of the state department.

The newly appointes ss sent word to her daughter she would visit 'her later. But that some day has not come yet. "I don't guess I -an leave Columbia and its river water," she chuckled. Mrs. Wilson seldom sees her three children, each of whom is living out of the state.

Bob, Mrs. Wilson's only son, ad mired his mother's taste. Marian and Bob were married last spring.
