Chris Shephard
Sonoran Searchers held their first meeting of the 2016-17 season in October at the home of Chris Shephard with refreshments by Nancy Hysong.
Chris displayed her collection and presented a program on Victorian spooners. The spoonholder or spooner provided as much symbolic value as function for Victorian society. The prominently displayed spoons were a clear sign of ready hospitality, as well as a status symbol for the increased affluence among the expanding middle class who could now afford silver spoons, or at least a good facsimile.
