Talk:Letitia Baldrige

Missing CIA Employment

"She then worked at the Central Intelligence Agency on a psychological warfare project. 'In retrospect, what they were doing was not so different from public relations today,' she said. In 1953, thanks to her command of Italian, she became special assistant to Ambassador Luce in Rome." (At Tea With Letitia Baldrige, NYT, Jul 8, 1992)

Confusion reigns

Now that Baldrige is briefly in the news because of an article about Jackie Kennedy's taped interviews, some people may be looking her up in Wikipedia, like I did, and run into this mess: What in the world does this excerpt mean? "1969–1971 Director, Consumer Affairs, Burlington Industries

                       President, Letitia Baldrige Enterprises, New York City.

1972–2005

                        Bonnie Block served as account executive.

2006– Baldrige & Lewris, Washington DC

The honor recognized her effort to appear on the Inman Literacy Foundation Lecture Series."

1. When was she president of Letitia Baldrige Enterprises? From 1969-1971, at the same time she was at Burlington Industries; or 1972 to 2005, which has nothing following the years; or some other time span? 2. What was she doing from 1972-2005? 3. Who is Bonnie Block and what is she doing in this article? When did Bonnie Block serve as account executive? Did Baldrige serve as account executive at a firm named Bonnie Block? If so, when? 4. Is there really a firm named Baldrige & "Lewris"? 5. What honor? Why would it recognize an "effort to appear"? Was she rejected and given an award for trying anyway?Wlegro (talk) 16:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Who is Bonnie Block?

I looked up Bonnie Block in Wikipedia, and there is no article on her. So why is it important to know that she was an account exec at a firm managed or owned by LB? Rick lightburn (talk) 15:05, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
