THE EVENT: Considering its venerable history
(it’s Washington’s second oldest building), the
City Tavern Club was a fitting venue at which
to celebrate the changing of the guard at
two of the capital’s most durable institutions:
The English Speaking Union and the British
Embassy. The event was hosted by the ESU
to say farewell to executive director John
Andrews and to welcome his replacement,
Mark Olshaker. The turnover coincided
with the recent arrival of the new British
ambassador, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, and wife
Julia. Guests included Stephen Trachtenberg,
former president of George Washington
University, and wife Francine; Ina Ginsburg;
Jamie and Bob Craft ; Sue and Don Rappaport;
Pam and Mike Peabody; Andrea and Stephen
Weiswasser; Ann and Stephen Black; ESU
President Gerald Kauvar and Lolo Sarnoff .
