Ruth Cashin Monsell ’68, the most recent biographer of Frances Perkins, was invited by the White House to attend the ceremony at which President Biden, on December 16, signed a proclamation making the Frances Perkins Homestead the newest National Monument. Also invited was her partner of over 10 years, John Longmaid, the first and foremost benefactor of the Frances Perkins Center, which will continue to operate on the 57 acre homestead property in Newcastle, Maine. Frances Perkins, Champion of American Workers was published by Histria Books last April.
Congratulations Ruth!
