I do not think so. She would be just over 100 if she is

George and Kay Evans knew her - that as close of a degree of separation I get to

I believe his granddaughter Irma Witt O'Fallon (born mid 1940's) is still alive and I think she has a couple daughters. Not sure if one of them is named Irma

BTW. Irma Witt O'Fallon (i think. - I'll confirm late) is the person who had the manuscript of Nash's autobiography which with the work of a researcher became the book "Mr Buck"

His daughter has passed away.His granddaughter was still in Knoxville,Tn. a few years ago.She was the one who sold all of Nash's papers to Dr.Halstead and the actor Robert Urich.I have heard that she is quite bitter about the deal.

What is there to be bitter about? Did they deceive her?
I always thought Bob Urich was a stand-up guy... He moved here in order to be close to the Boston medical community for his wife. A lot of good That dos... He liver right up the street from me but I never got to know him well.

I don't know the details completely.I think that she had seller's remorse after they came out with "Mr.Buck"and "Once Upon a Time".Dr.Halstead told me she was a very liberal person and did not appreciate the heritage she inherited until the money from the books came in to him and Robert.They did not mislead her.They just made a fair offer and she accepted.When they made money off of the deal she got angry.

Thanks for that insight John.
