In the late 80s, when the HC went ‘co-ed,’ the men held a wake at the Hamilton Club the night before. I know because my father in law showed me the invite.
Membership in the Hamilton Club is often one of the perquisites included in executive contracts at a number of Lancaster businesses. So membership extended to LNP execs would not be out of the ordinary.
Eleanor Roosevelt declined an invite to speak at the Hamilton Club because of their discriminatory practices. Of course she was portrayed as being ungrateful rather than principled.
