Lady in Red
April 25, 2009
The Lady in (the) Red cape is of course… Clara Barton….
Clara Barton and Uncle Sam
My big Microsoft Federal boss, Teresa Carlson, is co-chairing the even with Jim Shaeffer of CSC, and the team is building each day…Both Teresa and my colleagues Melissa and Katheryn were draped in red Tuesday night. I didn’t get the memo — but next time I will know! (a good excuse to get a red dress..). Instead I wore what is becoming my “uniform” (only new dress I’ve bought so far this season, so you will see it on me everywhere I go..)

The real true inspiration for the night came from some unsung heroes among us… Most people likely remember Governor Frank Keating from the Oklahoma city bombing 14 years ago when he and his wife Kathy helped a grieving state and country come to terms with the horror of home-bred terrorism.
Kathy and Frank Keating talk about the "essentialness" of the Red Cross
Well, since then, the Keatings have given endless hours and raised millions for the DC regional Red Cross to help ensure that our area is prepaped for such a disaster or act of terrorism.
You can read more about the work of the Red Cross and learn how to get involved in our upcoming events by reading Teresa’s post on Microsoft Federal’s Future Fed blog.
