GT gazed across the renovated space of the Grand Plaza of Union Station, thinking how much their foundation had grown in just a few years. When his mother had toyed with the idea of doing something in memory of her husband, both he and his sister had jumped right in. The name had been bit of a fight, but when GT had shown her the many Lewis Foundations already in existence, his mother caved and added Hawkins. As in previous years, the gala sold out in record time. All 1200 seats taken within a month, and he wondered if they would have to move the event to The Kansas City Convention Center’s Grand Ballroom soon. They had started at the 300 seat Carriage House Ballroom and just kept getting bigger. This was their first year at Union Station and he hoped they could use it for a couple of years before they moved again. His mother, sister, and he loved the way Union Station looked. Even in the large hall, it was possible to imagine what train travel had been like in its glory days. They didn’t care for the more sterile look of the ballroom, but knew if they continued to grow they would probably end up there eventually.

He grinned as he spotted the six students and their parents a few feet away. The two girls and one boy who were still in high school beamed with pride and happiness, but their parents looked ill at ease in the grandeur of Kansas City’s rich and influential. The two young men and one young woman who would be going to medical school courtesy of the Foundation had come alone. They seemed self-confident and not over-awed by their surroundings. He wanted to talk to them and was on his way when his mother called, “Gregory, please come meet the Duncans.” He turned towards them, half-listening as his mother explained. “Tom Duncan is the Vice President of Trust Administration and Chief Fiduciary Officer at UMB.” GT shook hands with a distinguished-looking gentleman with a round face and some extra pounds around the waist. “He and his wife, Gisela,” his mother gestured to a pretty brunette with familiar features in an expensive-looking midnight blue gown, “have donated the three Keith Kavanaugh paintings for the silent auction this year.”

“You did?” GT focused on the couple. “I’ve bid on Valley in the Mist #2 and Winter Field at Sunset. I love the way he uses texture and different surfaces to create his images. His use of muted colors is very appealing to me. Thank you for your generous contribution.”

The woman giggled and said in a husky tone, “Don’t be silly, anything for our local charity. It’s such a good cause.” Something about the woman’s demeanor and the overly familiar way she had her hand on his arm gave him the chills, but when he discreetly tried to pull away, she clutched him with surprising force. “Have you met our daughter?”

GT had to suppress a groan
