Honored guests at the Feb. 8 luncheon meeting of the Antiquarian Society were former Birmingham residents Julie Green Jenkins, Frannie Green Hilsman and Mary Green Burdell. At the meeting, the Green sisters reconnected with friends they made while attending Brook Hill School. The family lived in the Forest Park area before moving back to their hometown of Madison, Georgia, where they restored an antebellum house on a farm. Burdell presented the program on their father, the late Henry D. Green, one of the most respected and recognized authorities on Southern antiques. Though it was his avocation rather than his livelihood, he collected Southern furniture before it was fashionable to do so. As a consultant on Southern furniture and art, Green was in demand over the years by many historic houses and museums including: Winterthur, Atlanta’s High Museum, Arlington and Birmingham Museum of Art, among others. He also consulted at Colonial Williamsburg and has a collection in a museum named in his honor at the University of Georgia in Athens. Antiquarian President Kirke Cater presided at the business meeting, while Judy Long and Rhetta Tatum greeted guests as they arrived. Shirley Evans gave the invocation. Creating the Valentine table décor in the club’s ballroom were Amanda Adams, Patty Natter and Jan Smith. Antiquarian officers include: Cater, president; Marjorie Forney, first vice president; Lucy Richardson, second vice president; Angela Comfort, corresponding secretary; Kay Clark, recording secretary; Meridith Peeples, treasurer;
