Tania Long

[1] After several years of living in Scandinavian capitals and attending the Lorenz Lyceum in Berlin from 1920 to 1924, Tania studied at the Ecole des Jeunes Filles at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, until 1927.

Tania spent two weeks in Copenhagen taking down by hand the news copy from the Polish front sent by Joseph Barnes, Herald Tribune correspondent.

[3] However, in late September 1939, Tania was transferred to London, where a shortage of staff had developed due to the illness of the bureau chief, Ralph Barnes.

Remaining based in London for the duration of World War II, Ray and Tania returned twice to their home in Westport, Connecticut, where they had two months of vacation.

In 1944, Tania was asked to do a job[specify] for the Office of Strategic Services (forerunner of the CIA) and was assigned to the headquarters of the First Army in Spa, Belgium, which was already occupied by US forces.

During World Wars I and II, Tania and her parents' possessions, including the Long family papers and photos, had been stored in a downtown Berlin warehouse.

[9] In 1946, The New York Times went front page on December 16: "Raymond Daniell reported from London that 'only politics, which has blighted so many royal romances, is delaying the announcement of the engagement of Princess Elizabeth, heiress to the British throne, and Prince Philip of Greece.

[11] When Ray was assigned to the United Nations in 1964, the Daniells moved to New York City, thus enabling Tania to pay frequent visits to her mother in Westport, Connecticut.

In late 1969, Tania began her second career (which lasted for ten years) as the publicist for the Music Department of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.

[3] Tania's mother had come to Canada via Berlin, Brittany, and Connecticut and, just a few days short of her 94th birthday, fell ill with pneumonia and died on March 29, 1978.
