As a child, Thompson visited neighbors Thomas and Mina Edison and was one of the few people Edison allowed on his fishing pier a spot he was known to use for quiet meditation.

As the great hurricane approached in September 1926, she married George Thompson. McQuade remembers her 1 mother talking about that night. "My dad was a captain on J.L.
