The Historic Alexandria Community had originally planned a memorial service for Kathy at Gadsby's in mid-March. When that became impossible, the scheduled speakers were asked to record their memories of Kathy for a Tribute Video. Many of the pictures sprinkled within the reminiscences and in the accompanying slide show also provide great glimpses of mid-20th century fashions as well as Kathy’s Philadelphia childhood and world travels. A number of other photos highlight events held in support of Historic Alexandria, especially at Kathy’s beloved Gadsby’s Tavern Museum. You might even see yourself in the background. We recommend watching this video with a glass of wine and a cheerful heart, as Kathy would have wanted you to do. To honor Kathy's dedicated service to Gadsby's Tavern Museum and the other Historic Alexandria sites and projects including the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum, the George Washington Symposiums, and the George Washington Birthday Celebration Committee GTMS is hosting a campaign to purchase a Memorial Bench in her name.
