Now there was a good long life. She reminds me of my late grandmother who ran
one of those depression era coops for food out of her basement with her
neighbors; hers grew too, and moved to another place, then turned into a sort
of philanthropic foundation.
From The New York Times:
Mary Anderson, a Founder of the Outdoor Cooperative REI, Dies at 107
Dissatisfaction with ice axes available in the United States led Mrs. Anderson
and her husband to start the Recreational Equipment Cooperative in 1938.
