LOYE LAUDER'S SELECTIVE SECRECY

Before I drop the subject, I would like to post one more photograph of Loye Lauder.

In 1956, the Florida yacht set participated in a social event, "Key Largo Anglers' Club Goes to Hawaii." The club was decorated in Hawaii themed huts and a pit for a pig roast. Guests came in costumes from various periods. A group of ten howling cannibals showed up with their dinner in a cooking pot.

 

The Miami Herald for Sunday, March 11, 1956, devoted a full page to the story. They reported that the events of the week drew 57 yachts from around the country.

The point I wish to make is that Loye Lauder did not shun publicity as reported in a 2018 auction catalog. As Mrs. Allison Laytham, she was active in the community of people who travelled up and down the East Coast in fancy yachts. That she formed her coin collection out of public view is totally understandable.
