Anne loved her house and her garden, and avidly needlepointed for family and friends all her life. She was sharp, playful, and a great listener. One could always find her at 6 pm with vodka in hand dressed for dinner. She enjoyed lunch and dinner with friends and especially with her family. She saw the world in the age of steamer trunks, SS France and the Queen Mary and never lost her travel enthusiasm. For her the party was never over. We will miss her with all of our hearts.
