A Marion Davis commemorative dinner would be cool to throw but probably not in February. Host a dinner for twelve in her honor. But the hosts have to borrow four chairs to keep with tradition. And serve up chicken. But not pullets.

Marion sold the Wapack property to Al Jenks in 1964, the year the Lawrence Davis died. She began working for the school around this time. My question is: "Where did she live at this time"?

I enjoy reading about Marion's 'adventures. How many women would hold a dinner party under those circumstances and make it a success? I wonder which of those women in the photograph was Marion, or was she the photographer as well!

For some reason I thought Marion was born in 1907, according to Friends of Wapack Lodge she was born in 1894. Thus, she would have around 59 at the time of her marriage to Frank and 60 when she married Lawrence Davis.
