- February 15, 2005 Meeting Highlights:
- Author Kevin Noa, "Two
Princesses: The Triumphs and Trials of Grace Kelly and Diana
Spencer", spoke about the his book that discusses the similarities
and differences that abound between these two breathtaking princesses
who captivated the world in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
This comparison biography of Princess Grace of Monaco and Diana,
The Princess of Wales, takes each reader through the themes that
can be identified by each Princess and the similar lives they
led in moving the world. Although they grew up in different environments,
cultures, and eras, their status reached a level that few celebrities
or heads of state could compare to. Diverse in some ways and
similar in so many, the magnitude with which their charm and
decorum influenced the people of two separate continents was
astounding. Their lives mirrored each other's, both personally
and professionally, in the experiences they encountered. In the
end they met similar tragedies
