Sara Garden Armstrong

I remember when Toni, Maralyn Wilson, and I went to New York City together in the mid 1970’s with Toni as our planner and leader! It was a very special time for the three of us, a first trip to New York for Maralyn and me, staying at the Stanhope Hotel across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and that first taste of New York City making such a huge impression on me- wanting to live here, just not knowing how.
