That was probably quite a break for Cintra to make, going off to Philadelphia like she did. But I wager she was happy to be somewhere else besides the Lawrenceville-Princeton area for a change. The article only mentions one time until now that she made it out of New Jersey--to get presented at the Debutante Cotillion and Christmas Ball in New York in 1977.
