David Pincus
Gerry and David Pincus in their Wynnewood home, a veritable museum of artwork they´ve collected during their 48 years together. In recent years, Pincus has been selling some of his major pieces to fund his charitable works, which now tend to lie closer to home than his earlier worldwide efforts.
Defining Lives
At home and abroad, eager to help
David N. Pincus travels the world, taking an ebullient spirit and a generous heart to the youngest in need.

Elie Wiesel has traveled all over the world with David N. Pincus, a retired Philadelphia clothing manufacturer. They've traveled to Auschwitz, to Moscow, to Kosovo, and to the White House. But a 1987 trip to Brazil stands out in the Nobel Peace Prize winner's memory.
Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest

Beyond philanthropy, Lenfests show personal commitment
By Peter Dobrin, Inquirer Culture Writer
When Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest sit still long enough to accept the Philadelphia Award this week, it will be entirely appropriate to fill the air with honorifics and superlatives:
Helen Drutt
Helen Drutt´s library includes a chandelier of broken dishes by German designer Ingo Maurer. Some detractors say she, too, has a shattering way about her.
A discerning eye, a diva's fervor
Helen Drutt lifted craft out of obscurity into artistry.
Helen Drutt traces a pattern from guest to guest, rearranging, summoning, fretting, surrounding, interrupting. She is in all her disarmingly insecure yet self-possessed raconteuse glory at this Art Alliance opening, overseeing the fruits of her labor.
Jack Bogle
Students at Blair Academy in northwestern New Jersey get a visit from alumnus Jack Bogle. A former chairman of the school's board of trustees and founder of a scholarship fund that has helped 128 students attend, Bogle says: "The only thing that gives me hope are members of the young generation."
Market Moralist
To Jack Bogle, the reckoning for Wall Street, "with all its sins," reaffirms Vanguard's pioneering course in funds.
His wife had tried to dissuade him. He was 79 years old, and lately his health had been shaky, complications involving his heart transplant of a dozen years ago. Why subject himself to the stress? At the airport the day before, while waiting for the 7:30 a.m. flight from Philadelphia to the West Coast, even he had exclaimed, "This is madness!"
Jane Golden
Muralist Keir Johnson and Jane Golden scrutinize pieces of ceramic mosaics that will be worked into a mural planned for the Hartranft School at Eighthand Cumberland Streets. In background are (from left) muralist Beverly Fisher and Tyler School of Art students Carly Herman and Kimberly Arata.
Gracing the City
Jane Golden has made Mural Arts the nation's top public arts program. Her mission: To save the city's soul, one wall at a time.

The chauffeur waits in a white stretch limo for the two women, both artists in their 50s, both named Jane.
