Proud to have met Josephine Baker

I enjoyed Susan Spano’s story of Josephine Baker [“Jazz Age Diva’s French Castle,� Her World, July 2]. I had the honor of meeting Baker on a flight from New York to Paris in the early 1970s. She was absolutely charming -- just a delightful woman. At that time, I wasn’t aware of her significance, but, in retrospect, I am proud to have met her.
