Traute Lafrenz Page was the mother of one of my friends and colleagues, Renee Page Meyer. Ms. Page just died earlier this month just prior to her 104th birthday. I did not know about her history until her death.

Thank you so much for this summary! I look forward to seeing this article updated. I didn't know you had enough material to tell us about Regine Degkwitz. I really look forward to learning more about her.

I know this is not the subject of this article, but I would also very much like to learn more about Hubert Furtwangler, who is both on everyone's lips and on none. Perhaps it could be the subject of a future article? In any case, I am delighted to see you back, Madam Heap. I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Traute was an amazing woman. When I asked her how she had handled the inadvertent betrayal of her good friend Katharina Schüddekopf, she not only waved it off, but she told me more about Käthe and the person she was. Traute always talked about others, about their good deeds and positive character. She never put herself forward.

She was an uncommon person. Wish our tired old world had more Trautes in it.
