WAYNESBORO – The late Jeannette Reid Joiner (1922–1996), a “society” editor of The Record Herald and editor of a Record Herald cookbook, will be the subject of the next third Thursday Biography Breakfast.

The meeting will be held at 8 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at Main Street Family Diner, 1543 E. Main St. The event is open to the public, but reservations are required.

TTBB is a study group of Antietam Historical Association focusing on “deceased local residents who are not already history-book celebrities,” nominated by members of the group.

In previous eras “society” editors ran sections of the newspaper devoted to recipes, engagements, weddings, parties, fashion and home improvement.

For reservations, call, 717-762-2006.
