The following months would be filled with diamonds, celebrities, and even a bit of romance as Marjorie and Marty experienced New York City in a rarified moment in time. To their surprise, they were offered the chance of a lifetime – to become the first two women to be hired as pages at the magnificent, distinguished store. These two Iowa sorority sisters had headed for the bright lights of New York City in hopes of finding a little adventure as they searched for summer jobs.Īfter being turned down by some of the best department stores in the city, the girls bravely approached the legendary Tiffany & Co. World War II finally seemed to be winding down, and for Marjorie and her best friend, Marty Garrett, the summer of 1945 seemed to hold a glimmering sense of expectation with a promise of a fresh future. Marjorie Hart recalls the summer that made a difference in her life with her memoir “Summer At Tiffany,” and it is truly a summer never to forget. With summer winding down, my thoughts turn to summers of the past, and how those lazy hazy days of my youth were carefree and fun.
