Thanks for posting, quite a story and interesting life. Apparently last of the "silent era" who is still alive. Also lots of her work were lost in a studio fire but some stuff still appears.

A better name than how our former Governor old James "Big Jim" Hogg named his daughter: Ima. Ima Hogg. (You still here that he named his other daughter URA but this is untrue.)  But she over-came her odd name and became quite prominent and beloved. Founded a lot of this, collected art, help plan the Kennedy Center, funded mental health facilities, donated art, etc.

Yum, so do I get to pick one for each course or am served everything? That would be a lot of food and I probably couldn't handle it, maybe back when in HS.

If I were to order, I think the food would come as you mentioned, as a single course.  In my case, (turkey and cranberries) with a side of veggies (sliced tomatoes) a small bowl of the cream of chicken soup, your choice of potato (Southern Style, whatever that is) choice of dessert, (pineapple pie?) and a glass of milk to wash it all down with.  Yes, a nice big meal, but well worth the 50 cents when considering the value of money back in those days.  (Don't forget the ten cent tip.)  Nice tune.
