On Saturday, May 20, 2017, 12 members enjoyed English verdure, English culture, and English comfort at a Box Hill Picnic at the lovely estate of Perry & Carole Krowne, Lake Montezuma.

Welcome, Janeites: Janet, Peg Hesley, Judy Shappee, Joyce Howell, Elizabeth Pickens, Gloria Zanella, Lynda Hilton, Brenda Witsoe, Sylvia Hom, Carole & Perry Krowne. Thanks to Alex Feldman for the group photo outdoors in the dappled sunlight. Delightful!

Our lovely hostess, Carole Penfield-Krowne described the creative development and extensive research in writing her new book, The Midwife of Normandy. Brilliant!
