Letitia Baldrige

When I hear Letitia Baldrige’s name, it makes me sit up straighter and try to be better behaved.

Baldrige, 86, was a walking encylopedia on what to do and what not to do in social situations and with her passing last week comes the unofficial closure on a time in American life when class and sophistication counted for something.  Also known as “Tish,” Baldrige became a public name when she worked in the White House as chief of staff and social secretary to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

Turn!,” a classic pop song performed by the Byrds in the 1960’s, has been playing in my mind recently.  The music was written by Pete Seeger and the lyrics were adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes. To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn) There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven Maybe it’s the change in seasons dovetailing with graduations, weddings, engagements and milestone birthdays, but it feels for me as though the times, they are a changin’.
