Lovely and Twinkly
Those were the words uttered by Barbara Taylor Bradford during her acceptance speech describing the evening when the St. George Society honored her as the first female “White Rose.” She invited everyone who was seated at the Rainbow Room to have “a good giggle.” Certainly it was no laughing matter to Peter Felix, the President of the Society to pull off the Annual Gala to keep the 238 year-old club going. Stressed that the dinner started a half hour late, he still managed to crack a joke and a smile at the podium.
