Nina Freed is no novice when it comes to entertaining and preparing hors d’oeuvres for large parties. She created the menus and did the decorating for the members’ parties while her husband, Doug, was the director of the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art at State Fair Community College.
Recently, her home, filled with mid-century modern style decor, became a smorgasbord of appetizers for Doug’s retrospective party.
