addition to his concert schedule, Mr. Morgenstern
is frequently heard over New York's classical
music radio stations.
Gil Morgenstern is the recipient of many pres-

National Society of Arts and Letters, and the

For immediate release
Wednesday, June 2, 1976
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary to Mrs. Ford
The President and Mrs. Ford will host a white-tie dinner in honor of
Their Majesties King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sophia of Spain on Wednesday,
June 2, 1976 at 8:00 P.M.
Entertainment will be provided by violinist Gil Morgenstern in the East
Room following dinner.
Mrs. Ford has chosen as centerpieces for the dining tables examples of
American Folk Art in the form of antique American weathervanes. This
collection contains examples of the earliest weathervanes found in
America, two-dimensional, homemade versions of either wood or iron, as
well as the later three-dimensional, full-bodied vanes made of copper,
zinc and iron.
Many of the pieces represent the more popular subjects for weathervanes
such as horses, often depicting famed racing and trotting horses of the
day such as "Ethan Allen" and "Patchen;" rooster or "weathercock" vanes,
cows, which were often used by farmers to advertise the breeds they
specialized in; fish, popular in coastal New England; retrieving dogs,
and a ram. Some of the more unusual vanes are: a sheet-iron, one dimen-
sional cowboy "bronco-buster," one of the few 19th century vanes found in
the American west; a copper eagle with a five-foot wingspan dating from
about 1830 which originally perched on a courthouse in a small town in
upstate New York; one of the few signed vanes, an iron horse made by
John Brady, a blacksmith who worked at Sturbridge, Massachusetts in the
late 18th century; a full-bodied copper horse and rider with original
gilding, circa 1848, believed to depict either General Zachary Taylor
or General Winfield Scott, both popular folk heroes of the Mexican-
American war.
Guests will be greeted by another rare example, a five-foot, full-bodied
hackney pony, probably used as a trade sign in a blacksmith shop or a
stable in Pennsylvania. Decorating the President's table is another
rare example, an 18th-century dove made of sheet-iron.
The centerpieces will be surrounded by calendula, marigolds, and sweetpeas.
The rooms will be decorated with orange and yellow tiger lilies, rubrum
lilies, twigs and ivy, irises and cornflowers, creating an atmosphere of
country fields and wildflowers.
The round tables will be draped with yellow cloths and the napkins tied
with yellow ribbons with a cinnamon stripe. The three-inch candlesticks
are 18th century-style early American with saucer bottoms, and are on
loan from Garfinckles. Tables will be set with the Johnson China, Monroe
vermeil flatware, and the Morgantown crystal.
Janet and John Wallach of Washington, D.C., have donated their time to
coordinate the decorations. Most of the weathervanes are from their
private collection and their American Folk Art Shop in Georgetown; the
remainder are from private collections.
The menu: Mousseline of Red Snapper, Fleurons; Supreme of Duckling;
Grilled Orange Slices, Wild Rice Amandine, Zucchini with Mushrooms;
Hearts of Lettuce Salad, Bel Paese Cheese; Macadamia Nut Souffle;
Sauce Sabayon and Demitasse.
Wines: Saint Michelle Chenin Blanc, Charles Krug Gamay, Schramsberg
Blanc de Blanc.

"A Remarkable Violinist."
THE WASHINGTON POST
GIL
MORGENSTERN
In a relatively short period of time and in spite of his youth, the American-born and
American-trained violinist GIL MORGENSTERN is fast becoming one of the country's most
exciting talents.
After beginning his violin studies at the age of five, he has gone on to perform at New
York's Carnegie Recital Hall and also at Town and Cami Halls. Since these initial perform-
ances, Mr. Morgenstern has performed numerous recitals throughout the United States and
has recently made a most successful Canadian debut in Ottawa. In addition he has been
eagerly engaged as guest soloist with the National Symphony, the New Jersey Symphony
Orchestra, the Santa Barbara Symphony and the Garden State Philharmonic among others.
Gil Morgenstern has been the recipient of many prestigious awards and honors. He
was the first prize winner for three of the country's most demanding competitions: the
Washington International, the National Society of Arts and Letters and the Music Educators
Association.
He is a graduate of the Juilliard School in New York and continues to study with the
famed pedagogue Ivan Galamian. Mr. Morgenstern has been heard over New York's clas-
sical music radio stations; WNYC and on Robert Sherman's "The Listening Room" broad-
cast over WQXR.
Press Accolades:
"He is a remarkable violinist period. Morgenstern played a program that tested every part of a violin-
ist's equipment and he did it all beautifully. He interpreted the music with a depth of perception that
belied his youth, with a maturity that eludes many virtuosos two or three times his age."
The Washington Post
VIOLINIST GIL MORGENSTERN - THAT'S THE NAME TO REMEMBER.
"While he dazzled everyone with his dexterity and facility, he realized all the artistic nuances. His
bowing was magnificent; his tone just plain gorgeous."
Santa Barbara News-Press
YOUNG VIOLINIST RIVALS MASTERS.
"Morgenstern is a violinist of such dazzling accomplishment that he would grace any concert stage
in the world and that is no critical hyperbole. The performance was technically flawless, full of fire,
brilliance, clarity and sophistication."

At this time we do not know what the King and Queen

I would like to suggest that you reciprocate by

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD
SUBJECT:
Official Gift Exchange during the Visit of
Their Majesties King Juan Carlos I and
Queen Sophia, June 2-3, 1976
At this time we do not know what the King and Queen
of Spain will be presenting to you and Mrs. Ford during
their upcoming visit to the United States. However, we
have been informed that they will be prepared for an
official gift exchange.
I would like to suggest that you reciprocate by
presenting to them the John Safer sculpture which
Mr. Safer would like to donate to you for this purpose.
A copy of the photograph which was sent to Mrs. Ford
earlier is attached. The piece which would sell in a
gallery for approximately $10,000 has an overall height
of 78 inches. The pedestal is a 24 inch black acrylic
cube, upon which is seated a 16 X 16 X 3 inch
aluminum base, anodized to a dark mat finish. The brush
finished stainless steel ellipse is 3 inches wide and
1/16 inch thin. The upright insert is a polished
smoky acrylic.
