SUMMARY:Kennedy's Only Hero
DESCRIPTION: \nKennedy’s Only Hero\nNov 12th | 4pm \nJoel Nelson is a British historian and author whose work focuses on political history and influential figures. He is a former Kennedy Scholar and has served as an assistant editor at Foreign Affairs. He studied at Oxford and Harvard Universities. \nHis debut book\, Kennedy’s Only Hero\, highlights the impact of Winston Churchill on John F. Kennedy. The book examines the profound influence Winston Churchill had on John F. Kennedy\, detailing how Kennedy’s early admiration for Churchill shaped his political philosophy\, campaign strategies\, and approach to international relations. The work draws on unpublished archival material to provide new insights into the relationship between these two historical figures. \nAlthough Kennedy’s Only Hero focuses on Churchill’s impact\, the Kennedys themselves shared a special connection with Falmouth. JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy often visited The Antiquarian\, an antique shop on Palmer Avenue\, where they admired a distinctive pink West Falmouth granite stone. Jacqueline later recalled that stone when collaborating with architect John Carl Warnecke on the design of the president’s gravesite and eternal flame at Arlington National Cemetery. The family also maintained close ties with Falmouth interior designer Robert Luddington\, who exchanged design sketches and handwritten correspondence with Jackie and Rose Kennedy for many years. \nTickets: $20 Non-Members\, $10 Museums on the Green Members \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Museum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth
DESCRIPTION:        \n \nMuseum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth \nIn this colorful presentation\, former White House chief calligrapher\, Rick Paulus\, takes you on a unique journey into the worlds of international diplomacy\, White House entertaining and adventure on the high seas. Using his calligraphy as the backdrop\, Rick shares personal vignettes from working at the highest levels of government as a calligrapher\, calligraphy’s role in diplomacy\, and many insights into the operations of the White House Social Office. He will be incorporating some of the Historical Society’s archive pieces to show how calligraphy was used in Falmouth for proclamations and special civic events. In 2006\, Rick took a bold leap by leaving his coveted position in Washington to explore new adventures and art. It is here that Rick confronts his most difficult and most rewarding assignments; finding a voice for his work\, merging life into art and art into life\, and continuing to strive to achieve the technical skills required to speak fluently from the hand. Today\, Rick continues his quest for the perfectly formed letter on the shores of Cape Cod\, Massachusetts. \nAdmission: $40 Non-Members / $30 Museums on the Green Members  \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, Nov 17th\, 4pm \nRegister Here
