About names, just as a random sample here is how a fancy-schmantzy Rhode Island event was reported recently. (The event was the presentation ceremony for the 2015 Pell Award for distinguished service in the arts, to actress Debra Messing. The award is named after former senator Claiborne Pell (who established the National Endowment for the Arts) and his late widow Nuala Pell, a prominent Rhode Island philanthropist and patron of the arts.
Mrs. Christopher Neal is Clay Pell’s sister Christina Pell Neal, a well- regarded artist.
All five of Senator Claiborne Pell's grandchildren will serve as honorary chairs for the event, including Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Neal; Clay Pell and Michelle Kwan; Nicholas and Annie Pell; Dr. Tripler Pell and Tawfik Hammoud; and Eames Yates, Jr. Together with business, political and social leaders, guests at the gala will mingle and enjoy delicious food and desserts provided by Russell Morin Fine Catering.
