“A dignified lady of grace and beauty
Her wit, charm and talent
Thrilled the world and touched
All who knew her.”

Greer Garson was a gifted, intelligent, and beautiful actress who relished her Celtic family heritage. The red-haired Oscar-winning beauty of 1940’s films was born in London, but always claimed that she’d been born in Ireland, where she spent most of her childhood summers (her mother was from Scotland). Her memorable roles include Goodbye Mr. Chips, Pride and Prejudice, Mrs. Miniver (for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1942), and Blossoms in the Dust, the story of Edna Gladney, founder of the Edna Gladney Home in Ft. Worth. In 1949, she married “Buddy” Fogelson, a wealthy rancher and oilman who owned a large ranch in New Mexico and a residence in Dallas. While continuing to work steadily in movies throughout the 1950’s, she also discovered a love of ranching and raising cattle near Santa Fe. She returned to the stage in 1957 in Auntie Mame, earning rave reviews. In 1960, she earned her seventh Academy Award nomination as Eleanor Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello, also becoming great friends with Mrs. Roosevelt. While continuing to perform on stage and television, she immersed herself in charity work in Santa Fe, establishing the Greer Garson Theater and the Fogelson Library at the College of Santa Fe. She returned to Dallas as a permanent resident in the 1980’s, and, following Fogelson’s death in 1987, she established a second Greer Garson Theater on the campus of Southern Methodist University, Fogelson’s alma mater, as well as continuing to manage the Fogelson fortune and charities until her death in 1996. Ms. Garson is buried in the Fogelson family plot in the Sparkman-Hillcrest Cemetery in north Dallas, not far from SMU.

To find the letterbox at this location, follow these clues:

Sit on the bench, at the right end, and reflect on all the remarkable, beautiful, gracious, talented, witty, charming women you have known, especially those of Celtic origin, while gazing straight ahead. That small shrub straight across from you, in a direct line with the stones bordering the small flower bed, conceals a secret. Separate the branches carefully to discover the letterbox, a small camo pouch hanging by an O-ring.

After stamping in (silver or gray ink works best for this stamp; she was a star of the Silver Screen, of course), please reseal all bags and the pouch carefully, tuck the flap of the pouch bag under its strap, and carefully replace the pouch as you found it in by hanging it in the thickest part of the bush to conceal it completely. Please let me know the status of this letterbox.
