KENNEDY CENTER SPRING GALA April 29 • The John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts PHOTOS BY TONY POWELL
THE EVENT Even though Harry Connick Jr. quipped, “We’re about as white trash as you can get,” there was nothing blue collar about the Kennedy Center’s spring gala. On Duke Ellington’s birthday there was an evening of jazz, cocktails on the picturesque roof and dinner for 1,200 patrons to raise a record $2.9 million. THE GUESTS Alma and Colin Powell, Geraldine Ferraro, Alberto Moreno, Sen. Ted Stevens, Ethel and Jean Kennedy Smith, Debra Lee, Strobe Talbo and Sen. Wayne Allard.
