Out and About

Kendal Goes to The New York Historical

Last week, Kendalites set out for New York Historical (formerly the New York Historical Society) to roam the exhibits and enjoy the City.

The “We the People” exhibition featured an Oval Office replica at a third of the size of the White House version, shown in the style of the Reagan administration (note the jelly bean jar). Visitors were encouraged to try it out—and Carol Levin was one who did. The first executive decision: which jellybean to test out. Her campaign slogan: “First do no harm.”

Another distinctive feature of the exhibit was the “We the People” sign—made of shoelaces.

Peter Roggemann noticed a Kendal-related feature in an exhibit on New York steamships: a model of the Mary Powell.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like

Kendalites of every ilk recognized their individual right and responsibility to take part in their democracy. And that’s what several did on several occasions over the past week or so.
