KEENAGERS

MRS. LINCOLN AND MRS. KENNEDY: A LIVING HISTORY PORTRAYAL

If Mary Todd Lincoln and Jacqueline Kennedy met, what would they discuss? Can anyone understand what it is to have lived in the White House and then, suddenly, to be living alone as the president’s widow? Historical interpreters Laura Keyes and Leslie Goddard bring Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Kennedy to life at an imagined meeting at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History First Ladies exhibition. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Kennedy reminisce about living in the White House, negotiating the role of First Lady, and the challenges they endured after their husbands’ deaths. Both presenters have extensive experience portraying these historic women.

This gathering for Keenagers (senior adults) is Friday, February 18, at 5:30 p.m. in the Commons. We begin with punch and fellowship, followed by dinner at 6, and finish with this dramatic presentation. Reservations (or cancellations) must be made by Tuesday, February 15. Meeting fee is $10 per person. Kindly RSVP by calling the church at (630) 668- 0878 or emailing Keenagers@college-church.org.
