Ian Crawford, instructor in the Clothing, Textiles, and Interior Design Department, shared his knowledge about White House China with 80 members of the Osher Life Long Learning Institute. His talk included china, silver and glassware used by the early presidents. The lecture was held in the Greensboro Opera House.
Afterwards, OLLI members enjoyed a Presidents' Day reception at The Oaks, the Greensboro residence and ongoing restoration project of Crawford.
The party was made all the more special because Crawford enlisted the help of interior design students dressed in period garb.They donned red and gold livery jackets, served food and assisted OLLI members as they toured the house.
The menu for the event was a collection of presidential favorites, including jelly beans for Ronald Reagan and cherry pie tarts for George Washington. Cutting into a White House cake and serving it on reproduction White House china topped off a wonderful event!
