“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
Erin Chandler held her book release party today at The Cabin; her home in Versailles that’s a central character in her story. The Cabin was built as a gift to her grandfather, Gov. Happy Chandler, by the state. It was bequeathed to Erin’s dad, Dan. He is the youngest child in the photo taken at the Governor’s mansion hanging over the desk. It’s a beautiful photograph published in last week’s Ace article about Erin’s book, and inaccurately attributed to me. Though I wish I could take the credit, I’m not old enough…for once. Ha! Erin’s party was wonderful of course; packed full of people that adore her, and rightfully so. I had the chance to meet some really wonderful people today, and catch up with others I haven’t seen in a while. I never go to one of Erin’s parties that I don’t come away having met some of the most interesting people on the planet. I enjoyed watching her sign copy after copy of her memoir that I just finished reading yesterday. I can’t say enough about it, and not because we’re friends, but because it is a deeply compelling story. I’m extraordinarily proud of her.
