Anne Hanford hosted a delightful get-together

Not to be outdone by Denver and San Francisco, classmates from eastern New England also got together with Melinda Ponder to hear about her new book, Katharine Lee Bates: From Sea to Shining Sea. Anne Hanford provided a lovely setting and delicious hors d'oevres and supper for the group. And she wore the flamingo dress that her mother gave her when we first adopted the pink bird as our class mascot.
