Agathe von Trapp, the second eldest of the children, and Marie, referred to in this article are the only survivors of the seven siblings in the original Trapp Family Singers.
If Agathe is still alive since the last time I read about her, she is 95. She became a naturalized American citizen in 1948. She settled in Maryland where she helped operate a private kindergarten until she retired.
I think it would be so cool (and perhaps poignant) to say as an adult that your kindergarten teacher was one of the famous and lovely von Trapp children.
