An Evening with the Bradlees

Several hundred movers and shakers attended a reception held at the N Street home of Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn on Wednesday, September 21. Proceeds went to the Georgetown Ministries, to support their important work with homeless people. The guest of honor, once again, was Georgetown's very own marvel, Frida Burling, on the occassion of her 90th birthday. Mayor Williams' mother presented an award to Mrs. Burling, and there was a birthday cake and the usual off-key singing.

I had a very nice chat with Victoria Rixey, President of the Citizen's Association of Georgetown (CAG) and we shared some creative ideas. Watch this location for more on that.

It was a pleasure to see the Bradlee's house and garden. Who would have ever thought
there was a pool AND a tennis court on N Street?
