David Beer Book Party for "Pieces of the Past" hosted by Polly Reed in Palm Beach

The orchid-filled, walled garden on Chilean was the setting of Polly Reed’s book signing party for David Beer, the New York architect, for his latest book “Pieces of the Past.” About this book, famed publisher and author Michael Korda write, “A life well-lived is, or ought to be, the ultimate ambition, and David Beer’s book celebrates just such a life elegantly, fondly, and with the sure touch of a master raconteur.” Celebrating its publication are lifelong Palm Beach residents Phipps related Flo Chase and Beatrice Guthrie, Pulitzer related Cookie Donaldson, former Morgan Library Director Charles Pierce, and Barbara, Metropolitan Opera star mezzo-soprano Brenda Boozer, Quest owning Chris and Grace Meigher, Swifty’s restaurateur Robert Caravaggi, seminar giving Dale Coudert, interior designing Jennifer Garrigues, Ann Copeland, Jackie Weld Drake, and Billy Beadleston. Alas, Daisy Soros’ driver got lost on the way and she was sorely missed.
