Follow Up on Misty from "Aunt Bee"

A few months back I paid tribute to Misty Kemp, a downtown resident and founding member of Urban Neighbors who tragically died way too young during a visit to Texas. Anyway, this comment was posted this week on that old post and deserves your attention: 

I just stumbled across this site by accident and was so pleased. I am Misty’s aunt/foster mother. She came to live with us in Rouses Point, New York, in the summer before her senior year in High School. She spent the summer with us, but when she went back to her father’s home in Machias, Maine, she called me and asked if she could live with us. I talked him and he said that if I didn’t take her he was going to dump her on her mother’s doorstep. I talked to my husband and he said that every kid needs a home and to tell Misty he would come and pick her up. There is much more to the story but I want you all to know that the year or so that Misty lived with us before she married was one of the happiest of my life. I miss her with all my heart and soul. Thank you for keeping her memory out here for all who loved her.

Thanks, Steve, for the note about Misty. She was a great gal … her aunt/foster mother might enjoy seeing a couple of photos I took of her at the City Council meeting when Urban Neighbors made its presentation there … the pics of her aren’t that great but maybe Aunt Bee would like to see them … they are in this article: http://dougdawg.blogspot.com/2007/05/urban-neighbors.html
