Today, Tuesday, starting at 2:55 PM in the east (and 11:55 AM Los Angeles time), the White House is scheduled to be streaming live the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony. Yes, yes, I know there are others also who will be medal recipients, but I'm tuning in to watch Newton Minow, father of my longtime friend Nell -- and years-past poker buddy and patient of my dad. Oh, and former FCC Chairman under President Kennedy and one of the creators of the first TV presidential debate.
Among those 20 others getting honored at the ceremony are Michael Jordan, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Bill and Melinda Gates, architect Frank Gehry, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Robert Redford and several others...like Vin Scully, Robert DeNiro, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, educator Eduardo Paron and more.
You can watch the live here.
Or...C-SPAN also lists the ceremony on your schedule for those of you with television sets...
By the way, yesterday, I was trying to find out what time the event starts, but was having difficult. Then I realized -- oh, I have an easy way to find that out. I wrote to Nell. "What time to you have be at the White House tomorrow?"
I also asked how long she expected to be beaming. "Forever" was part of her answer.
By the way, 2:55 PM is it says on the White House website, which humorously is a bit different from what Nell told me. My guess is that she was given the time for the families to be there, which is why what she told me is earlier than what I have listed above.
