2000—Visitations: Edna

The vivacious Edna Penn visited from British Columbia. She’s sort of a relative: her son David Penn was our Mimi’s first husband and the father of Mimi’s gorgeous children. Edna and her husband had served a mission in the Boston area some years earlier. He had died since, and this was a tender homecoming for Edna. She poses with other missionaries here (front, fourth from right, gray coat) on the steps of the Cambridge Chapel, which then housed the Mission offices.
