DescriptionRaab met Elvera Patrick—known as “Miss V”—in 2009 and has enjoyed documenting important moments of her life ever since. Here Miss V, a former Ms. Senior Congress Heights, makes a grand entrance on the red carpet rolled out in her backyard during a “Phenomenal Women’s Tea Party.” Miss Elvera returned to live in the same house in which she grew up, and until recently operated a childcare center out of “the Pink Palace.”
