She reported that her ship weighed anchor a few hours ahead of schedule and pulled out of the harbor to the accompaniment of rifle fire from the rooftops.
Anne was a Minister of the Age of Enlightenment and made numerous trips to Switzerland to study with His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
One year shy of becoming a centenarian, she passed away in 1999 in Fairfield. She published two books: Sonnets to Soma and Sonnets to Iowa.
