Kendrick Harris, deputy chief of advanced systems and technology at Hanscom Air Force Base, and Grace Greenwich, who commutes to Cambridge from New York, where she is associate director of alumni relations at New York University, initially seem like an odd pairing. He, in worn jeans and an unconstructed suede blazer, is constantly in motion. He takes up the whole room, fidgeting, flashing a row of perfectly straight teeth framed by quotation-mark dimples, expressing skepticism or surprise with a single raised eyebrow: Eddie Murphy meets your favorite high school English teacher. She, wearing fitted tweed trousers and a bright green shawl, her hair pulled back tight, is more self-contained, seated with feet together and legs uncrossed, like a lady receiving visitors in a Victorian drawing room. But as director and co-director, respectively, of the Harvard University Tuskegee Airmen Youth Leadership (Red TAYL) Program, they seem to need each other as much as Laurel needs Hardy, as much as FDR needed Eleanor.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dev.news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/04\/1-Tuskegee2-225-2.jpg"}
