Miss Manners: Host refused to remove dogs at formal alumni event despite my allergies
A chapter secretary says a formal alumni meeting at a headmaster’s private home included dogs the host wouldn’t secure despite her severe allergies.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband is the president of a local college alumni chapter, and I am the secretary. The chapter recently held an alumni meeting at the residence of the headmaster of a local private high school. Though the setting was a private home, the event was a formal gathering attended by the university president and various dignitaries.
