Miss Willett was Secretary and one of the Directors of The Troy Times Fresh Air Fund. She had been connected with the Fund more than twenty years, and it was her great pleasure both to organize and take charge of the parties at the Home In
Grafton until recent years, when she continued to make selection" of parties, but did not go with them to the mountain fresh air resort, where she had always been of invaluable help.
