Jorie: The Extraordinary Life of Jorie Butler Kent, Visionary and Philanthropist

Jorie Butler Kent has led an extraordinary life in every sense of the word. She comes from one of the great American families–the Butlers–who have had a long and celebrated history in business, exploration, and philanthropy, not to mention their central role in the establishment of polo in the United States and founding the Oak Brook Polo Club over 100 years ago.
