Maybe not, but preppy girls were and Betty was a preppy girl. She obviously rode. Maybe she played field hockey; field hockey is pretty preppy.

Bert's sister is a silent partner. That may mean that she has her own shares and Bert voted for her, or it might mean that she co-owned Bert's shares, or any other number of possibilities. But she will figure in to whatever happens next ... if the writers remember that she is a partner, that is.

I thought he was getting Peggy to do the presentation for Burger Chef so he could fly to meet her and maybe buy her shares and Burt's interest---
that would have been a new Don Draper move--business savy...
I can't believe these people are making deals to sell 51% of this company when in NY state Burt's share/ interest will have to go into probate (I believe) unless there is special language in the contract for this agency that throws all shares back to the company to be bought for cash--
and there again--who has the money to buy Burt's share???
Roger would be the only one I can think of although even he might need financing--
but Roger and Don??? That's a combo...
Article about Robert Morse's so sweet and wonderful swan song...
I am hoping we see Don do something with that song and the moon landing to win a big client in the last portion of this season...
Robert Morse was truly wasted on this show---it was a crime to keep him sitting in his office when he could have been giving us wonderful glimpses of Bert's background and experience in the ad business...I know they "used" him--but not enough...
I always enjoyed every minute in Bert's office...
According to this article, NYC started to hire female lifeguards in 1969. Probably still took a few years before they became more common. Beach Life : Beaches of NYC Parks : NYC Parks

Bert was integral until they sold out to the Brits and then he became more of the relic of the firm and I think he was very zen about that role.
And I am still surprised at how surprised I was that Bert died … we all thought it would be Roger, but I think Bert's death has brought Roger back to life and that is what was desperately needed.

She was a partner in the original Sterling Cooper agency. When the British people bought them out, they bought her out as well. When Bert, Don, and Roger found out the British were dumping them, they formed a new agency, which Bert's sister was not a part of. And when Lane died, didn't Don tell Lane's wife that this partnership has a provision that when a partner dies, the shares are absorbed back into the company? He gave Lane's wife a check, but it wasn't to buy out Lane's partnership, if I remember correctly, it was supposed to be for the amount of Lane's buy-in to the partnership.
A little something to tide us over until next year.
