Half a century ago, when The Old Lady was just a teenager, she would ride an Atlanta Transit bus (MARTA hadn’t been invented yet) from Cascade Heights downtown to the Central Atlanta Public Library.

A marble statue stood in that marble building, tucked away in the corner of a staircase landing. The Veiled Rebekah fascinated The Old Lady for the skillful carving of stone into the diaphanous fabric that covers but does not conceal Rebekah’s lovely face and figure.

Over the years since they tore down the old library building The Old Lady wondered what had become of Veiled Rebekah… until now!

She discovered her in the High Museum of Art!

A chance meeting with an old friend!

And she hasn’t changed a bit.
