| Chapter XXIV: Resort Life, October 1963 – March 1964 Palm Beach: A Death in the Family By Augustus Mayhew Before we say good-bye to Lou Ordway, here is a look back to a welcome for a new puppy, a birthday dinner, a round of golf, Christmas at home with family, and New Year's Eve at Ta-boó with friends. Here is a brief glimpse at the time when Ellen Ordway lost the love of her life and the nation lost a president, those tragic unexplainable days in November 1963 when President John F. Kennedy's assassination changed the world. October 1963 Palm Beach |
