| Resort Life, Chapter XXXVI: January 1969- September 1969 Medway Plantation + Palm Beach +Lyford Cay + Down East By Augustus Mayhew In 1969, NASA was busily putting a "Man on the Moon." For Ellen Ordway, there was a quiet dinner with the Phipps family, a visit from James Cox Brady at the Lyford Cay Club, and a wedding reception to stage for Gus the Rhinoceros and Click-Click held at Lion Country to benefit the Animal Rescue League and the World Wildlife Fund. Amid this joie de vivre, Palm Beach was "plunged into mourning … several elaborate dinner parties were cancelled," according to Suzy, with the news that the Duchess of Windsor's pug, Minoru, died while the Windsors were staying at Gemini, Loel and Gloria Guinness' estate in Manalapan. So, don something sedate and join the Duke and Duchess of Windsor as they pay their last respects to their beloved pug, interred in Ellen Ordway's garden at Villa Bel Tramonto.
