The After Event Report
The ceremony and unveiling took place in the Ceremonial Courtroom at 6th and Market Streets in Philadelphia. A couple hundred were in attendance, every active Judge of this court, sitting ceremonially on the two tiers of benches. Many spoke of Judge Kelly's kindness, generosity and distinctly Irish quick wit and humor.
Unfortunately cameras were not permitted for the Special Session of the Court. (At least not my camera)
Following the ceremony was a luncheoun at the Downtown Club, just two blocks away and overlooking Independence Hall. "Lunch" rather a dinner, was served for at least three-hundred in sumptious surroundings.

If you ever come to visit the District Courthouse, the Portrait is expected to hang in Courtroom 8A.
By the way, new Forum member Alexandra Tyng has a fine portrait hanging in Courtroom 10A.
