About the Author

Kathleen Kalamarides was very fortunate to have inherited a great deal of material about the family from her parents and, in trying to put it in a useable format for her children to read, became interested in sharing it with the rest of the family. Her grandmother’s paintings developed into an intriguing topic. She lives in Wilton, CT with her husband, John. They have three children and ten grandchildren. Therese Ellsworth is a musicologist specializing in the concert life of 19th-century London, in particular women pianists. Her publications include The Piano in Nineteenth-Century British Culture co-edited with Susan Wollenberg (Ashgate, 2007), book chapters and journal articles. She lives with her husband in Washington, DC. They have three children and five grandchildren. John James Kalamarides is the oldest son of Kathleen. Jamie is an executive with Prudential Financial and advocates for public policies to expand financial security for low and moderate-income families. He is also a board member of the Corporation for Enterprise Development and serves on the Archdiocese of Hartford’s Pastoral Council. He lives with his wife, Diana, in West Simsbury, CT. They have five children.
