Doing their best to ignore the sun, festivalgoers weaved in and out of booths to munch on stir- fried noodles and tacos norteños, large flour tortillas stuffed with grilled chicken. They learned, too, about the


craftsmanship of Hawaiian in- struments, the music of indig- enous Mexican people called the Wixárika and even the history of tequila, which traces its roots to the Spaniards’ 16th-century ar- rival in the Americas. To the dis- appointment of at least a few in the audience, no tequila samples were available. Although details of each tradi-


tion vary, volunteers expressed pride in their cultures and a de-

Paiboon Uthikamporn, a festi-


val volunteer from Bangkok, helped children translate their names into Thai. “It’s difficult, because you need to pronounce the sound right to get that mean- ing,” he said of the language’s 44 consonant symbols and more than a dozen vowel symbols. “If you pronounce it wrong, it’s go- ing to have a different meaning.” For many, the festival offered visual and culinary wonders.

1999 and took a job with Nortel Networks. Within a few years, he was knocking on the Georgelas Group’s door.


At the time, the company


wasn’t hiring, certainly not someone who lacked real estate experience, said Ted Georgelas, the chief executive and Aaron’s uncle. “It’s not a rite of passage that just because you have our name, you can walk in and be a part of our company,” he said. But Georgelas was ambitious and eager to learn the family trade. He shadowed his father and uncle and turned to them for advice. Before long, he brought in a deal: a mixed-use residential development in Arlington Coun- ty. The project gained him a spot on the company roster. “You have to prove yourself,”


Georgelas said. “I think it’s the only way to do it.” Having grown up in McLean, he is intimately familiar with Ty- sons, its traffic problems, and its transformation from a rural crossroads into a thriving shop- ping and business district. As a kid, he rode his dirt bike in a sparsely wooded area that locals referred to as “the pits” but is now home to the Tysons Galleria. When he was a young adult, he and his friends visited Arlington or Georgetown after work be- cause “Tysons was not on that menu of places we wanted to go,” he said. The Tysons West project gives him the opportunity to add night life to Tysons Corner. The devel- opment is being billed as an arts and entertainment district, where rail riders will be able to dine at a sidewalk cafe, catch a movie or go bowling.


“I see people wasting their time sitting on toll roads,” Georgelas said. “It’s about get- ting people out of their cars. I want to change how people ex- perience Tysons Corner.” Ted said that because Aaron is young, he understands those

who flock to transit-oriented de- velopments. “His age and his ability to know what others of his demographic group want” are helpful, he said. The Tysons West project will


redevelop a drab stretch of Lees- burg Pike that is made up mostly of low-slung industrial parks and car dealerships. Georgelas works on the project full time and continues to lean on Ted for guidance. His father died on a business trip to Paris in 2005. He said he holds on to his father’s lesson to be honest, be- cause “integrity is your most valuable asset.” It was the Georgelas Group’s


reputation and local roots that drew investor Tom Mulroy to the project. “People know them. They trust them,” he said. “That helped us along the process with the county and the state.” Georgelas, who lives with his wife and two sons in Vienna, said he hopes to expand the com- pany’s reach, beginning with Ty- sons. “My goal is to take what


they’ve already done and move it further,” he said.

MARTIN D. GINSBURG, 78


Tax-law expert, GU professor became Supreme Court spouse


by T. Rees Shapiro Martin D. Ginsburg, 78, a


Georgetown University tax law professor whose blind date more than a half-century ago with a quiet undergraduate named Ruther Bader blossomed into an enduring marriage, died June 27 of complications from metastatic cancer at his home in Washing- ton. Mr. Ginsburg joined the


Georgetown faculty in 1980 and was considered one of the nation’s preeminent tax-law experts for his mastery of the Internal Rev- enue Code’s intricacies. He also served as the sounding board, moral supporter and intellectual sparring partner for his wife, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as she rose to become history’s second female Supreme Court justice. The couple celebrated their


56th wedding anniversary on June 23. The foundation of their relationship, they both said, was mutual respect and equality — and a willingness to share domes- tic duties. Soon after their wedding, young Army Lt. Ginsburg was as- signed to an artillery unit at Fort Sill, Okla. One night, Mrs. Gins- burg presented her husband with a dish he immediately deemed in- edible, he later told The Washing- ton Post. “What is it?” he asked. “It’s tuna fish casserole,” she re-


plied. From then on, Mr. Ginsburg took over responsibility for din- ner, finding inspiration in an Eng- lish translation of an Escoffier cookbook that had been a wed- ding gift. “As a general rule,” Mr. Gins- burg told the New York Times in 1997, “my wife does not give me any advice about cooking, and I do not give her advice about the law. This seems to work quite well on both sides.” Martin David Ginsburg was


born June 10, 1932 in Brooklyn, N.Y., and grew up in Rockville Center on Long Island. His father was vice president of the Federat- ed department store chain. He went to Cornell University

in New York, where he studied chemistry. His roommate set him up on a blind date with Ruth Bad- er. Later, she recalled that Mr. Ginsburg, a gregarious varsity golf player, was “the only young man I dated who cared that I had a brain.” He received a bachelor’s degree from Cornell in 1953, and the Ginsburgs were married in a small ceremony shortly after her graduation a year later. That day, Mr. Ginsburg’s mother ap- proached the bride and took her hand.“I am going to give you some advice that will serve you well,” the mother-in-law said. “In every good marriage, it pays sometimes to be a little deaf.” As she spoke, she placed a set of wax ear plugs

in Mrs. Ginsburg’s palm. “I have recalled that advice reg-


ularly,” Mrs. Ginsburg wrote in a 2002 anthology of essays, “The Right Words at the Right Time,” edited by Marlo Thomas. “Tem- pers momentarily aroused gener- ally subside like a summer storm.” Not long after their wedding, the couple headed to Fort Sill. In a 1993 interview with The Post, Mr. Ginsburg recalled that his mili- tary career got off to a slow start. “How much experience have you had in artillery?” a captain asked upon Mr. Ginsburg’s arriv- al.


“I will level with you,” Mr. Gins- burg said. “The first artillery piece I have ever seen in my life is the one I see through your window, on the back of that jeep.” The captain replied: “Son,


that’s an automatic fence post dig- ger.” After his Army service, Mr. Ginsburg and his wife attended law school at Harvard University. He graduated in 1958 and joined the New York firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Mrs. Ginsburg left Harvard and finished law school at Columbia University to be closer to her husband. Mr. Ginsburg practiced tax law


in New York and was an adjunct law professor at New York Univer- sity until deciding in 1978 to pur- sue teaching full time. He joined the faculty at Columbia’s law school and moved to Georgetown in 1980 after Mrs. Ginsburg be- came an appellate judge in Wash-


ington. He continued to practice as a tax lawyer at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in the District. He was co-author of “Mergers,


Acquisitions, and Buyouts,” a tax law treatise updated semiannu- ally. In 1984, Mr. Ginsburg helped


Ross Perot resolve tax problems involving the acquisition of his company, Electronic Data Sys- tems, by General Motors. Mr. Ginsburg refused to accept pay- ment from Perot for his efforts. In- stead, Perot endowed a chair at the Georgetown law school in Mr. Ginsburg’s honor. Besides his wife, survivors in-


clude two children, Jane Carol Ginsburg of New York and James Steven Ginsburg of Chicago; a brother; a sister; and four grand- children. Mr. Ginsburg said he was proud of his wife’s accomplishments and had no regrets about the compro- mises they made for each other. “I have been supportive of my wife since the beginning of time, and she has been supportive of me,” Mr. Ginsburg told the Times in 1993. “It’s not sacrifice; it’s fam- ily.”
