Our April 23 monthly meeting will feature a presentation by CUNY Professor Simon Baatz, discussing his book “The Girl on the Velvet Swing.” It is the story of Evelyn Nesbit, the beautiful Gibson Girl at the center of the “murder of the century” in the early 1900s, when her millionaire husband Harry K. Thaw shot and killed noted architect Stanford White in front of a live audience on the rooftop of Madison Square Garden. Thaw was convicted and remanded to our Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, from which he would ultimately escape! Please mark your calendar to learn about our community’s role in this sensationalized case. Join us 7 p.m. at the Elks Club; all are welcome and there is plenty of parking. And thanks to the Elks for hosting us!
