    3. Perhaps the only etiquette book written by a Germanna descendant, we should consider carrying copies in our vehicles to share with (or hurl at) fellow motorists. The author, Margaret Fishback, must have been quite a catch. She "contributed light verse and prose to a number of national publications, including Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, Look, Mademoiselle, New York Times, Reader's Digest, Saturday Evening Post, and Woman's Day" and was described in 1932 as "the highest-paid advertising woman in the world." http://www.germanna.org/germana_message_board has more information, and her ancestry is posted at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=marcwheat&id=I25299
