Taxonomy Xmas tree

So many memories of Kay:  World Bank activism,  visits with community leaders fighting bad projects, assorted shenanigans aimed at helping foundations make better choices.  She made it all so much more…fun. (Also, way more effective, but for some reason, the fun is what I remember most vividly).  This picture comes from a too-brief, but deeply appreciated gift of a weekend with Kay in December 2018.  Having assessed that 99% of the ornaments had eco-themes, we decided to decorate the tree according to biological taxonomy.  Vigorous debate ensued about the location of birds vs. mammals and reptiles.  Allowances were made for food chains and predations.  We laughed–a lot.  Now I can’t decorate a tree any other way.  Kay-Xmastree.JPG
