Myra Janco Daniels

Myra Daniels is a legend in southwest Florida.  She ran a successful

Chicago advertising agency with her husband, Draper Daniels -- the

inspiration for Mad Men's Don Draper.  They retired to nearby

Marco Island in 1979.  (You do the math to calculate how old Myra is.)

Draper died five years later, and Myra missed the cultural life of a big city.  So, she got to work. 

In 1989 Myra founded the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts.  Twenty-five years later, 

"the Phil" is a $100 million nonprofit organization with a fine symphony orchestra,
an art museum, a blackbox theater and other arts facilities.
Myra retired a second time last year.
