THE SEARCH FOR FOREVER AMBER: Presented to the '81 Club Monday 20 March 2006 by Mrs. Alan R. Marsh

Joan Marsh is a member of the '81 Club of Kansas City, Missouri,
which was formed in 1881 for the purpose of presenting scholarly
papers to the membership, avoiding the forbidden topics of the Civil
War, politics and religion. This intimate look at the history of the fabled Amber Room is one of many '81 Club papers spotlighting such stars as James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Madame Curie, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Nora Ephron, Isabella Stewart Gardner, David Douglas Duncan, Robert Edsel, eventually totaling a body of work of 25 titles, better known as the
THRILLING READING LIVING VICARIOUSLY Series.


Joan attended the University of Missouri and holds a B.A. from Texas
Tech University. Her major was English, and as night follows the day,
led to her 43 year career in publishing education programs for
children. Joan and Alan Marsh founded MarshFilm Enterprises, Inc.
dba MarshMedia in 1969. The Marshes live in Kansas City, Missouri,
where they raised their two sons. Those sons and their families,
including eight grandchildren, who live all over the world, were the
inspiration for many of the childrens' stories.

The family motto is Carpe Diem. Seize the Day!
