After about his umpteenth tour, he started to give the talk himself. He would follow Lois and guests and start out "This is Grandma's Gold Standard, this is Moonlight , this is Francee Williams". Lois corrected him; that there is Francee and over there is Frances Williams. No Mom, Grandma told me it was Francee Williams and Grandma Banyai knows more about hostas than you do. She said so herself!
