It was a great moment and nobody enjoyed it more than Mrs. Patri. The day after the wedding, Stella took an early bus to Boston to visit friends. The trip took about three hours. She was 90 years old. Stella celebrated her one hundredth birthday on November 1.
Life is good.
I remember the occasion, but it took a good deal of searching around to find out the exact date. It was May 1980, on the occasion of a meeting of AIC in San Francisco. Laura Young, past president of the Guild of Book Workers, with whom I was studying at the time. In her capacity as president of GBW, and as a bookbinder, as well, Mrs. Young had had frequent correspondence with Stella, and with Margaret Lecky in Los Angeles. Both Stella and Peggy Lecky were at the meeting.
