OBITUARY: Allison Ledes
 Allison
Ledes, Editor of the Magazine Antiques and member of the
Victorian Society Scholarship Fund Board since its founding in 1974, passed
away on 12th January 2008, from cancer.
Allison helped and furthered so many of the alumni and
summer schools, and as a very busy editor, made time to assist Victorians in
their pursuits. Allison was great fun and had courage. Her vision led magazine
into exciting new directions.
There will be a "celebration of her life" on
Wednesday, 23rd January at 10 am in the Tiffany Room at the Armory on Park
Avenue at 66th Street.
Allison is survived by her husband, George, and
daughters, Meredith and Abby.
Contributions can be made to the American Friends of
Attingham, (1965 Broadway #20C, New York, NY 10023) where she had served as
President and loyal supporter.
The memorial service is planned at the same time as
the East Side Antiques Show and Americana week when many of you may be in New
York.

News
We have moved!
Effective September 1, 2007
our new address and phone/fax information will be as follows:
The Victorian Society in
America
1634 Sansom Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103
Phone: 215-636-9872
The new office space is in the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, the 11th
oldest Baptist Church in the US (founded in 1698). The building itself dates
to 1899, and was designed by Edgar V. Seeler, the architect of several noted
buildings in and around Philadelphia, among them the Curtis Center (still home
to the stunningly beautiful Louis Comfort Tiffany mosaic "The Dream Garden").
The church sanctuary is an impressive blending of the Romanesque and Byzantine
styles, and is worth a visit of its own when in town. Our office is accessed
via the side entrance on Sansom Street.
Our email address and website
remain unchanged.

Email Newsletter
 The monthly email newsletter is a
recent innovation as a supplementary publication for members. Distinct in tone and content
from The Victorian printed newsletter, it is intended to keep a
more frequent contact between the VSA and its members, while featuring
related news, events, and stories.
