A Not So Covert Rose Park Affair

Upside Martinis with heavy hors d’oeuvres greeted supporters at the annual Friends of Rose Park fundraiser on Oct. 5 at the historic Julia Child house on Olive Street. In keeping with the spy theme, Jennet Conant, author of “A Covert Affair: Adventures of Julia & Paul Child in the OSS,” held the lively crowd’s attention with her personal stories. Also on hand was Nicholas Reynolds, author of “Need to Know.” The random fireworks were a plus.
