Nancy Flagg Gibney
Nancy Flagg Gibney (1922–12 February 1980) was an American magazine writer and editor who moved from New York City to St. John, United States Virgin Islands. Her family's property is now known as ''Gibney Beach'' on ''Hawksnest Bay'' in St. John.
== Early career ==
She was born in 1921 in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of J. Francis Flagg, the New England manager of Macmillan Publishers. She graduated from Smith College in 1942. At Smith, she won ''Vogue'' magazine's Prix de Paris writing competition. The award came with a year's internship in the magazine's Paris office, but due to the war, she worked in Manhattan. She later became an editor in the ''Vogue'' feature department, working under the legendary editor in chief, Edna Woolman Chase. She wrote pieces for ''Vogue'', ''Good Housekeeping'', and ''Redbook''.〔Nancy Flagg Gibney, Writer and Ex-Editor, ''The New York Times'', 15 February 1980〕
In the early 1940s she became friends with a group of writers and artists centered around Columbia University. Among the group was painter Ad Reinhardt, poet Robert Lax, and ''New Yorker'' cartoonist Charles Saxon. She met Thomas Merton in Olean, New York, in 1941. Merton mentions her in his autobiography, ''The Seven Storey Mountain'':〔(Thomas Merton at St. Bonaventure )〕
And when Nancy Flagg was there, she sat in the same sun, and combed her hair, which was marvelous red-gold and I hope she never cut it short for it gave glory to God. And on those days I think Peggy Wells read the Bible out loud to Nancy Flagg.
Also in the group was the writer, sculptor and painter Robert Gibney, who had graduated from Columbia in 1936 and was friends with Merton and Lax. She dated Gibney and the couple married in 1946. On their honeymoon they visited the United States Virgin Islands, and ended up staying on St. John for the remainder of their lives.〔
