Penny, A Portrait

Penny, A Portrait, copyright by •Laurie•, all rights reserved.

Penny is our 86 year old neighbor and friend. She is the most youthful 86 year old I've ever met and she drives a 1958 Corvette in mint condition which she bought new 48 years ago. Penny is British and grew up near Devon where she worked for years for the fire department. I asked Penny what she did when she worked for the fire department and she exclaimed in her beautiful British accent, "I FOUGHT FIRES!".

I asked Penny if I could take photos of her with her beloved Corvette. She graciously agreed, and said, "It needs a new paint job, but so do I!" Penny is a lovely woman and a role model of what it can be like to be a senior young-at-heart. Penny's husband was an MGM photographer and I get the feeling that Penny is used to having her picture taken - which made my job so much easier...
