DOWNTOWN PARTY….Carole and Ed Kelley were hosts for a dinner and reception in their new home downtown in the Block 42 condominium development. The party was held on behalf of members of the Washington- based group called the Fund for American Studies.

Co-hosts were Nancy and Mark Stansberry. He is a member of the fund’s board of trustees.

This fund, in existence since 1967, places college students in internships and other programs to study politics, business, journalism and issues of public policy.

Vice-president of the group Ed Turner, Washington, D.C., was here for the party.

Guests gathered on the first floor of the Kelley home for a reception and then moved upstairs for a seated dinner. Roses and dark pink Gerber daisies and candles decorated the tables. After dinner, the 20 guests gathered on the rooftop for a view of downtown Oklahoma City at night.
