Teresa Duncan's quest for wealth

  Westmount's Theresa Duncan was born in 1923 and by the time the war was finished she decided that she needed to be proactive about hooking up with a man with a solid income.
   So in 1947 Duncan - then 24 and working as a typist for the War Assets Corporation- wrote to a federal MP asking for a list of Canadian bachelors earning $100,000 per year.
   That would be about $1 million a year in today's money.
   Duncan had heard that there were 67 men earning that much and she definitely wanted to get to know one of them in the aims of persuading a coupledom.
   Her letter to CCF MP A.M. Nicholson was fruitless, as government didn't have any such information to send her.
   Undeterred Duncan, a 5'6" brunette, persuaded a Montreal reporter to use a daily newspaper to pimp her to help in her quest for a "moderate income man."
   She quite reasonably lowered he standards to accept a bachelor whose income doesn't exceed the $100,000 mark but "crowds it."
  Applicants were welcomed to contact her at 1384 Greene, presumably where she lived.
   "Sure I'm willing to exchange a typewriter for a super deluxe apartment with a built-in kitchen but what girl wouldn't?" she said.
   We'd love to know if Duncan ever managed to find her man. She would be like 91 is she's still got time on her clock.
