"Goodnight Ladies"

"Goodnight Ladies," Christianna Hannum Miller's documentary about her grandmother, Nancy Penn Smith Hannum, will premiere at 5 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Chester County Historical Society in West Chester. 

"In Goodnight Ladies, I show the grandmother I remember, speeding down country roads in her battered Jeep," said Christie. "Gran was passionate about her grandchildren, and this film is for them, and for their children.”
Christie told me that after each screening of the 35-minute film, she and cinematographer David W. Leitner will be doing a Q&A. No reservations are needed; suggested donation to the Historical Society is $10. 

Mrs. Hannum was for years the master of Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Fox Hounds, which was founded in 1912 by her stepfather, Plunket Stewart. Cheshire is hosting a series of events this autumn to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
