Mrs. Jack–Art Collector, Muse, Mentor, and Mascot: Isabella Stewart Gardner and the Boston Red Sox
Did you miss our October program? If so, you’re in luck. Jay Hurd, a baseball historian, former librarian at Harvard’s Widener Library, and graduate of Medfield High School, talked about the life of the inimitable Isabella Stewart Gardner who, in addition to being a Grande Dame of Boston society, was an avid Boston Red Sox fan. To recap his talk, Jay provided us with an article, which appeared in November’s Portal.
