Dear Ann Landers,
our column on zippers made me laugh. It also reminded me of my favorite story. Perhaps you'd like to share it with your readers. Last year we had a banquet to install the new officers in our organi-zation. Everyone was in formal attire. There were 200 people in atten-dance. When the chairwoman raised her baton to quiet the crowd and open the meeting, the zipper on her gown broke. That zipper went from the back of her neck down to her hem. She gracefully finished her speech and walked over to where the other officers were seated. They all re-moved their name badges and pinned her gown closed. She then pro-ceeded to chair the meeting without missing a beat. My husband, who is usually very reserved, said in a loud voice, "Now that's what I call a classy lady!" -I.K., Seattle

Dear Seattle,
The lady is not only classy, but cool-headed in the face of disaster. She gets my vote for woman of the year. 3 7 4 ANN LA Nil EIIS

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
