A History of Rudeness: Why American Manners, Taste, and Etiquette Matter (2000)
Emily Post (c. October 27, 1872 – September 25, 1960) was an American author famous for writing about etiquette. About the book:
Judith Martin (née Perlman, born September 13, 1938), better known by the pen name Miss Manners, is an American journalist, author, and etiquette authority.
Martin was born and spent a significant part of her childhood in Washington, D.C., where she still lives and works, graduating from Georgetown Day School. She lived in various foreign capitals as a child, as her father, a United Nations[2] economist, was frequently transferred. She is a graduate of Wellesley College[1] with a degree in English. Before she began the advice column, she was a journalist, covering social events at the White House and embassies; she then became a theater and film critic. Martin is known among Star Wars fans for her less-than-complimentary review of The Empire Strikes Back, which she referred to as a “good junk movie” with “no plot structure, no character ... development, no ... original vision of the future”.
Letitia Tish Baldrige (February 9, 1926 – October 29, 2012) was an American etiquette expert, public relations executive and author who was most famous for serving as Jacqueline Kennedy's Social Secretary.
Known as the Doyenne of Decorum, she wrote a newspaper column, ran her own PR firm, and, along with updating Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette, she published 20 books and appeared on Late Night with David Letterman and the cover of Time magazine.
Letitia Baldrige was born February 9, 1926 in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, the youngest child of Republican Congressman Howard Malcolm Baldrige and his wife, Regina (née Connell).[2] Her brother was Howard Malcolm Baldrige, Jr., the initial Secretary of Commerce during the Ronald Reagan administration .
Baldrige attended Miss Porter's School in Farmington, CT, where she met Jacqueline Bouvier, the future First Lady.[1] The two also attended Vassar College together, from which Baldrige graduated in 1946 with a bachelor's degree in psychology.
She served on the board of directors of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. She also did significant charity work with Jane Goodall to help fundraise for the preservation of habitats for wild chimpanzees.
In 1964, the year after marrying real estate developer Robert Hollensteiner, whom she met while working for a Kennedy family firm, she founded her own PR business, Letitia Baldrige Enterprises, Chicago.[1] Earning the nickname the Doyenne of Decorum with a newspaper column and a string of successful books, in 1978 she appeared on the November 28th cover of Time Magazine.[1] She had continued working into late life, publishing books in every decade from the 1950s, her final book being, Taste: Acquiring What Money Can't Buy, released in 2007.

Tour de Farmington
The 2010 Tour de Farmington was the first annual one-day bike tour of farms in the Franklin County area of western Maine. It took place on Sunday, October 10, 2010 and the weather was absolutely wonderful.
Celebrating local agriculture and promoting alternative modes of transportation, the 2010 Tour de Farmington offered cyclists a choice of two routes.
The 19-mile route was centered around the Wilton area with scenic views of the region's forested foothills punctuated by open fields and small villages. Farms on the tour featured hoop greenhouses, fresh produce, apple orchards, alpacas and other livestock.
The 70-mile route took cyclists north of Farmington to the Western Mountains foothills with hillier terrain and views of the Sandy River and Longfellow Mountain range.
Farms on the 70-mile route featured a cheesemaking operation, diversified vegetable farm, a bakery, farm kitchens and livestock. The region's fantastic fall foliage was at peak for the tours.
Both routes will start and finish in downtown Farmington. In its first year, the tour was a success with 36 cyclists.
At the farms, cyclists had an opportunity to buy local food and products that were picked up in Farmington at the end of the event.
A local foods lunch, water and snacks were provided. The day concluded with a live bluegrass performance and burrito BBQ prepared by Food by Chuck (formerly of Big Mouth Burritos).

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy: Life, Influence, Quotes, Biography, Facts, Education (2013)
Bouvier attended the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1942 to 1944, and Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut, from 1944 to 1947. About the book:
When she made her society debut in 1947, Hearst columnist Igor Cassini dubbed her debutante of the year.
Beginning in 1947, Bouvier spent her first two years of college at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and then spent her junior year (1949–1950) in France – at the University of Grenoble in Grenoble, and at the Sorbonne in Paris – in a study-abroad program through Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Upon returning home to the U.S., she transferred to The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.; she graduated in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature. Bouvier's college graduation coincided with her sister's high school graduation, and the two spent the summer of 1951 on a trip through Europe. This trip was the subject of Jacqueline's only autobiographical book, One Special Summer, – co-authored with her sister; it is also the only one of Jacqueline's publications to feature her drawings.
Following her graduation, Bouvier was hired as Inquiring Photographer for The Washington Times-Herald. The position required her to pose witty questions to individuals chosen at random on the street and take their pictures to be published in the newspaper alongside selected quotations from their responses. During this time, she was engaged to a young stockbroker, John G. W. Husted, Jr., for three months. Bouvier met Husted at a seasonal party which he had driven down from New York to attend. Bouvier later took continuing education classes in American History at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier and then-U.S. Representative John Fitzgerald Jack Kennedy belonged to the same social circle and often attended the same functions. They were formally introduced by a mutual friend, journalist Charles L. Bartlett, at a dinner party in May 1952. Kennedy was then busy running for the US Senate but after his election in November, the relationship grew more serious and led to their engagement, officially announced on June 25, 1953.
They were married on September 12, 1953, at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island, in a Mass celebrated by Boston's Archbishop Richard Cushing. The wedding was considered the social event of the season with an estimated 700 guests at the ceremony and 1,200 at the reception that followed at Hammersmith Farm.
The wedding cake was created by Plourde's Bakery in Fall River, Massachusetts. The wedding dress, now housed in the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts, and the dresses of her attendants were created by designer Ann Lowe of New York City.
The newlyweds honeymooned at the San Ysidro Ranch in California, before settling in their new home, Hickory Hill in McLean, Virginia. Behind the glamour, however, the couple faced several personal setbacks. Jack had some serious health issues then unknown to the public: he suffered from Addison's Disease and from chronic and at times debilitating back pain due to a war injury. During the fall and winter of 1954, he underwent two delicate spinal operations which almost proved fatal. Additionally, Jackie suffered a miscarriage in 1955 and in August 1956 gave birth to a stillborn daughter whom they planned to name Arabella.
The couple sold their Hickory Hill estate to Jack's brother Robert, his wife Ethel, and their growing family, and bought a townhouse on N Street in Georgetown. Jackie subsequently gave birth to a second daughter, Caroline, in 1957, and a son, John Jr., in 1960, both via Caesarean section. A second son, Patrick, was born prematurely in an emergency caesarean section on August 7, 1963, and died two days later.
Jacqueline was attentive to Jack's mother Rose Kennedy as she visited her in Hyannis Port and would go for walks with her when Rose was still able to. After her health declined, Jacqueline would sit with her and keep her company. Jacqueline referred to Rose as Belle Mere, the French term for mother-in-law during correspondence. When Jacqueline became tired during the early months of John F. Kennedy's presidency as a result of John Jr.'s birth, Rose would sometimes substitute for her. Jacqueline greatly impressed Rose when she assigned her to the Lincoln bedroom at the White House during a stay, as Rose often compared President Kennedy to Abraham Lincoln. After the assassination and the stroke suffered by her father-in-law Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., Jacqueline compared Rose and herself to Ruth and Naomi, Bible characters and a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law tandem who stuck together following their husbands' deaths.

Childhood & Early Years
Jacqueline Lee “Jackie” Kennedy Onassis was born as Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on July 28, 1929 in Southampton, New York. Her father, John Vernoun Bouvier III, popularly called ‘Black Jack’ for his tan, was a wealthy Wall Street stockbroker, having French, Scottish, and English ancestry.
Her mother, Janet Norton Lee Bouvier, was a socialite of Irish descent. She was also an accomplished equestrienne. The couple had two daughters, Jackie and her younger sister Caroline Lee Bouvier, both of whom were raised in Catholic faith.
Since her childhood, Jackie idolized her father, having a close relationship not only with him, but also with her paternal grandfather, Major John Vernou Bouvier. They also favored her over her sister, helping her to develop her unique individuality and self-confidence.
Jackie spent most of her childhood in their Manhattan home. The summers were spent at ‘Lasata’, his paternal grandfather’s country home in East Hampton. Built on 12 acres of land, the estate included a large stable and it was here that Jackie first learned to ride horses.
In 1935, Jackie was enrolled at the Chapin School, where she studied from grade 1 to 6. Brilliant, but naughty; she quickly finished her assignments and then started playing pranks. It stopped when her headmistress told her that nobody would notice her good qualities unless she behaved.
Although John Bouvier dotted on her daughter he was also an alcoholic and a womanizer. In 1936, it led to his separation from his wife, which culminated into a divorce in 1940. The separation affected Jackie a great deal and she began to withdraw into a private world of her own.
Outwardly she led a normal life, often visiting her father. At the age of 11, she had the rare distinction of earning a double victory at the national junior horsemanship competition. At the age of 12, she started taking ballet lessons at the Metropolitan Opera House and also started learning French.
In 1942, as her mother married Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr., her life changed once more. She now began to live primarily in Auchincloss’ Merrywood estate in McLean, Virginia, also spending some time with her father in New York City and Long Island.
From Her mother’s marriage to Auchincloss, she had two half-siblings, Janet Jennings Auchincloss and James Lee Auchincloss. In addition, she had three more step-siblings from her stepfather’s two previous marriages; Hugh Yusha Auchincloss III, Thomas Gore Auchincloss, and Nina Gore Auchincloss.
In 1942, she left Chapin School to enroll at Holton-Arms School in Northwest Washington, D.C. Thereafter from 1944 to 1947, she studied at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut, where she excelled as a student, winning Maria McKinney Memorial Award for Excellence in Literature in her senior class.
In 1947, Jackie enrolled at Vassar College in New York to study history, literature, art and French. In the same year, before she entered the college, she was named Debutante of the Year by a local newspaper.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was born on July 28, 1929, in Southampton, New York. Her father, John Bouvier, was a wealthy New York stockbroker of French Catholic
descent, and her mother, Janet, was an accomplished equestrienne of Irish Catholic heritage. Onassis was a bright, curious and occasionally mischievous child. One of her elementary
school teachers described her as a darling child, the prettiest little girl, very clever, very artistic, and full of the devil. Another teacher, less charmed by young Jacqueline, wrote
admonishingly that her disturbing conduct in geography class made it necessary to exclude her from the room.Onassis enjoyed a privileged childhood of ballet lessons at the
Metropolitan Opera House and French lessons beginning at age of 12. Like her mother, Onassis loved riding and was highly skilled on horseback. In 1940, at the age of 11, she won a
national junior horsemanship competition. The New York Times reported, Jacqueline Bouvier, an eleven-year-old equestrienne from East Hampton, Long Island, scored a double victory
in the horsemanship competition. Miss Bouvier achieved a rare distinction. The occasions are few when the same rider wins both competitions in the same show.Onassis attended Miss
Porter's School, a prestigious boarding school in Farmington, Connecticut; in addition to its rigorous academics, the school also emphasized proper manners and the art of conversation.
There she excelled as a student, writing frequent essays and poems for the school newspaper and winning the award as the school's top literature student in her senior year. Also during
her senior year, in 1947, Onassis was named Debutante of the Year by a local newspaper.

Connecticut
Connecticut (/kəˈnɛtɨkət/, kuh-NET-i-kət) is the southernmost state in the northeastern region of the United States known as New England. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, New York to the west, and Long Island Sound to the south. Its capital city is Hartford. The state is named after the Connecticut River, a major U.S. river that approximately bisects the state. The word is derived from various anglicized spellings of an Algonquian word for long tidal river.
Connecticut is the third smallest state by area, the 29th most populous, and the fourth most densely populated of the 50 United States. Called the Constitution State, Nutmeg State, and The Land of Steady Habits, it was influential in the development of the federal government of the United States. Much of southern and western Connecticut (along with the majority of the state's population) is part of the New York metropolitan area: three of Connecticut's eight counties are statistically included in the New York City combined statistical area, which is widely referred to as the Tri-State area. Connecticut's center of population is in Cheshire, New Haven County, which is also located within the Tri-State area.
