Sylvia Bloom
- ... that secret millionaire Sylvia Bloom retired at 96 from the secretary job she held for 67 years and left US$8.2 million for scholarships for needy students upon her death? Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/06/nyregion/secretary-fortune-donates.html
- Reviewed: None
5x expanded by Yamfri (talk). Self-nominated at 04:33, 12 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sylvia Bloom; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Article is neutral, free from copyvio, suitably referenced, and meets the required length—5x expanded on 12 December, the same day as this nomination. The hook is succinct, neutral, interesting, and reliably sourced—per the talk page, there is slightly differing information about Bloom's age of her retirement, but NYT is reliable enough for this hook. User is exempt from QPQ. This is good to go! A fascinating article that I had actually once considered writing myself—thanks for your hard work. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:40, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
