Candid portrait of Lucy Spector Co-founder of Britex Fabrics San Francisco's Union Square 20151028-144553 cw50 C4e
This portrait of Lucy Spector is the first of a series of four photos taken during Melody's and my last visit to her Hillsborough home in October 2015 - three days before her 91st birthday. She passed a year and one half after this candid portrait. Mrs. Spector co-founded Britex Fabrics. The store and its sign were icons in San Francisco's Union Square, remaining long after she handed the business down to her heirs. My sweetheart Melody worked at Britex for 35 years, until her retirement in January 2015, nearly a year after we married. Lucy was a shrewd business woman in the day of tough business men. She provided steady employment for more than 40 people in her heyday. All the Old Timers were very loyal to her and she treated them with dignity and respect. Lucy understood and liked my humor. I called her Lucy. However, Melody and most of her coworkers only addressed her as Mrs. Spector or Missus. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50 and lovingly present it here in our Wambeke and Wambeke photostream.
