(June 14th, 2003 meeting)

Another wonderful afternoon...with Nicki Barbour Foster, Phoebe Jacobs, Sy Kravitz, Joan Wile, Mary Louise Britten, Tedd Firth and Zaadi Zain

Miss Peggy Lee

Hosted by Phoebe Jacobs, with remarks by Sy Kravitz and Joan Wile and Peggy Lee's daughter, Nicki Barbour Foster

We knew a little bit about a lotta things.  Now, thanks to her daughter, we know a lotta more about Peggy Lee...

One of the many interesting things Nicki Barbour Foster said about her mother was that "often the dinner wasn't ready on time, but the song always was!"  Another was that of all the many aspects of her career, the part that Peggy Lee was most proud of was her role as a song writer.  Judging by the limited time we had with her daughter, she did damn well as a parent, too.
