In the summer of 1976, Betsy Bailey attended a bicentennial concert in Concord when she unexpectedly heard a voice calling to her from above.
“Hey you!” the voice exclaimed.
Upon looking up, Bailey spotted her carefree younger sister, Simone Ridinger, perched in a tree.
“I had no idea she would be there,” Bailey reflected. “She was unaware of my presence as well, and there she was, just casually sitting in a tree, as if it were the most ordinary thing.”
There was also the occasion when her sister traveled all the way to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, despite having work commitments.
“She phoned me to instruct me to contact her boss, as she wouldn’t be able to make it to her shift,” Bailey remembered. “That was quintessential Simone. If you were to describe her as a free spirit, that would be entirely accurate.”
The last time Bailey saw her sister was during Labor Day weekend in 1977. She visited the Rainbow Restaurant at 9 South Main St. in Natick, where Ridinger was employed as a waitress.
