He reminds me of that sometimes. Then again, that would be impossible because he has a few decades on me. Marshall likes to reminisce on the past and tell stories of days gone by. So do I, but I don't have any tales of people in this community that with which you're familiar. I haven't lived here as long. But, I can tell you about one woman, who came here as a survivor and a foreigner… literally. That woman was Martha Duell. Her army colonel husband brought her here to post-war southern America from World War II France. That's culture meets community right there. From what she told me, she quickly became involved with all things Fayetteville. She was active with the Fayetteville Woman's Club and many other community organizations, especially the Lafayette Society and her beloved Cape Fear Botanical Garden. She brought people together. She was an encourager, a motivator, but most importantly she was a leader. She was before her time. And there's a saying that goes "You can't say no to Martha Duell." I believe the reason she was so good at fundraising is because you could really see her passion, her drive, her love of this community. It was real. Even last year, she prompted me to join the Fayetteville Woman's Club just by simply telling me about their cause. In the short time I knew her, I can tell you this: Martha Duell was probably one of the bravest human beings I have ever met. Rest in Peace Madame Duell. The Culture & Community Issue
