Book excerpt: “David and Carmen’s contribution to the culture of the capital city in Washington was absolutely extraordinary.” —Mstislav Rostropovich, Former Musical Director, The National Symphony “David Kreeger was the cultural center of Washington before it was a cultural center, and to his actions and words, in great part, Washington owes its centrality.”—Isaac Stern, Internationally Renowned Concert Violinist Raised in different cultures, David Kreeger and Carmen Matanzo met in Puerto Rico while David was working as a lawyer for the Interior Department. They fell in love, married, and ultimately settled in Washington, DC. Both were accomplished amateur musicians who shared a passion for art, music, theater, and literature. In Inspiring Legacy, author Syril Levin Kline chronicles the Kreeger’s lifelong patronage of the arts in the nation’s capital. David’s success at the helm of GEICO insurance enabled the couple to make significant donations to major national arts institutions such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts while also acquiring works by many 19th and 20th century European artists including Monet, Picasso, Degas, Renoir and Van Gogh as well as masterpieces of African art. As their collection grew, even the Kreeger's home—referred to in the media as “the jewel on Foxhall Road” for its stunning Mediterranean-inspired design by architect Philip Johnson—became a gateway to the arts. In 1990, only months before his death, David was presented with the National Medal of Arts Award at the White House. Four years later, Carmen and the couple’s children fulfilled David’s wish that their home become The Kreeger Museum, which is open to the public and displays about 180 works. Carmen died in 2003, but the couple’s enduring legacy of philanthropy and love of the arts lives on.

Download or read book A Legacy Worth Leaving written by Everett Marwood and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will you be remembered? Legacy is the transference of things from the past. Though often thought of as a gift of property, it has the potential to be so much more. Legacy is a gift of learning and a gift of attitudes. It reflects our ideals and our convictions. It is consigned through the things we so and the choices we make. We will each pass on a legacy more profound than we can imagine. We have the opportunity to empower current and future generations to set and manage the direction of their lives, according to their aspirations. We can pass on the ability to be productive, the desire to boldly face whatever challenges life may bring. Or we can surrender to misery and assign scarcity to those who follow. We can inspire an appreciation for passion in life by guiding and encouraging younger generations towards an intensity in their vocations, their adventures and their relationships with others. Or we can dishearten then through reproach and condemnation. How will you be remembered? Are you imparting a message of hope or despair? Will you be remembered because you encouraged or because you disparaged? Are you teaching self-confidence or defeatism, passion or apathy? Are you leaving the legacy of your choosing?

Book excerpt: I remember what the backyard on Knot Street where we lived briefly in Shelby, NC looked like when dark; lots of kudzu, empty, and only one streetlight.

My third birthday was only five weeks away when my entire world changed. Through my innocent my little world was filled the calm moments of my mom cooking and singing in the kitchen. But, there are also memories of things like the television being thrown and busted, someone being chased and running for her life, horrible fights and crying.
