May McAvoy(1899-1984)

Never weighed more than 100 pounds.

I soon realized I was not cut out to be a schoolteacher, which is what it was assumed I would be. Every time I saw Ruth Wells I longed to be, like her, "in the profession". Finally, Mother saw I was making myself and everybody else miserable so she told me I could try my luck and at least get it out of my system.
