From Katie Couric on CBS News:
”There will be gifts for the new President and Vice President, by the way: A framed official photograph of their swearing ins, taken by a Senate photographer; flags flown over the U.S. Capital during the ceremony; and engraved crystal bowls by the Lenox company…”
There’s a certain irony-—albeit timely irony-—in the fact the commemorative bowls are produced by a company currently in bankruptcy. Despite being the oldest crystal and china manufacturer in the U.S. (and sole provider of the keepsake since the tradition began in 1989), Lenox exemplifies the condition of our economy and its impact on even the most established business.
Something tells me this is one president that fact won’t be lost on.
