She wrote a fashion column for the New York World-Telegram. She was born January 1908 and died June 2009 at age 101. All photos are in the Camera... View more info

With 20 photographs. This memoir of the author's grandmother, Aneita Jean Blair, whose name is on the front of the DJ, and many photographs of her during World War II.
