Polly Allen, relishes her Kendal Chicago home: “I connect with people of like interests—artists, gallery owners and arts enthusiasts; am enriched by many museum offerings; and serve on contemporary craft boards. Traveling for personal pleasure is a priority. Life is good!”

We’re lucky—all of us are congenial and close to one another.” Ellen MacVean: “I appreciate each day and make the most of it. We enjoy being together. We’re looking forward to a cruise next March to celebrate Charlie’s 80th and my 79th.”
