Back Issue: April 28, 2006 | The 2006 Cherry Blossom Princesses, along with the 2005 and 2004 Japanese Queens, visited Kendall Green on April 5 during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Their first stop was KDES, where they met with students and talked with them about their lives, their future aspirations, and, of course, how they became princesses. The princesses also handed out books and Beanie Babies to the students, and the students returned the gesture by giving them books they had made. The princesses then met with President Jordan and Linda Jordan in the President’s Office. The princesses were fascinated by how the couple met, what their children were like, and they had many questions about deaf people and about Gallaudet. The princesses’ visit was part of a goodwill tour of Washington, D.C., that included stops at the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and various embassies before the annual Cherry Blossom parade on April 8. (Kristina Hilboldt of Kansas was chosen as the 2006 Cherry Blossom Queen.)  |
