“The Red Hat Society was delighted to host Joseph at our 2011 Red Hat Society 13th Birthday celebration in Washington, DC. Our Society and the Hope Diamond have a great deal in common. They both carry a rich history, they are both adored by many, they sparkle from an amazing amount of bling and I am very proud to say they have both been on display for all the world to see in the Smithsonian Institution! It was a pleasure to share the stage with Joseph Gregory. He is such a gifted author (The Hope Diamond: Evalyn Walsh McLean and the Captivating Mystery of the World’s Most Alluring Jewel, Queen of Diamonds: Evalyn Walsh McLean) and the great grandson of Evalyn Walsh McLean, the last woman to own the Hope diamond!”
