In the sleepy Utah town of Saratoga Springs, teens from Westlake High School have a tradition of placing a creative poster on the doorstep of the person they hope will be their date for the homecoming dance.

Facebook Anna was a skilled artist, studying in Paris and Rome before settling in Manchester, Massachusetts where she also dabbled as a playwright. But sculpture was her forte, and after movin...
