I spoke with Mr. Whitaker about 2 years ago about wanting to know if there is interest in my late sister’s concert dresses. She was a concert flutist whose career was largely in Europe. The gowns are French designed and lovely. I am at 121 Fox Hound drive (The Hill At Whitemarsh) Lafayette Hill,PA 19444 My phone is 215-402-8422. Hope to hear after Aug. 3 as I am away from 7/27 - Aug. 3. Thank you!
