Emily Post tidbit
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2009 2:56 pm
I discovered today a note to the effect that Emily Post's father, Bruce Price, had been one of Pierre Lorillard IV's architects in relation to Tuxedo Park NY. I have also just received a copy of a statement by J Earle Stevens Jr (filed in the Tuxedo Park Library). He became a long-time Tuxedo Park resident. The statement records Grenville Kane's recollections, as a founding member of the Tuxedo Park Club, of the parts played by the Lorillards and James Potter in the naming of the Tuxedo dinner jacket. I'll post this once I am satisified that there is no more material to sift.
