A Passing: Jocelyn White

Apr 18, 2021 7:09 PM by Jeanne Prejean

There are people who just walk into a room and hardly anyone notices the new arrival. Then there are people who light up the room just standing in the doorway. Jocelyn White was the poster child for the latter group. It wasn’t the smile that shone like the ivories of a Steinway baby grand, the laughing brown eyes or even the hour-glass figure. It was the whole package … [Read more...] about A Passing: Jocelyn White

Just as Tucker and Rich Enthoven were grabbed for a photo in their den on Wednesday, April 10, they shot off. Looking over her shoulder, Tucker said they had to go get a Scotch for “Phil” who had saved the day. Seems someone had noticed an odor in the backyard. Could it be a natural gas leak? Normally, this situation would have been bad enough. But on this evening, the … [Read more...] about Mad Hatter’s Tea Patron Party Proved To Be A Less-Than-Six Degree Of Separations For Guests
