Page Update

In light of Earl Powell’s retirement, this page could use a lot of updating to cover the entirety of his career as well as the end of his tenure as NGA director. I am posting this due to a COI and hope that someone takes up the task. Some of the issues missing from this page are:

the maintenance and expansion work on the both the West and East Buildings
shows with the highest attendance during his tenure
his role with the Corcoran collection chiefly coming to the NGA
date of his retirement and that he is followed by Kaywin Feldman as director

Likewise, asking if someone could please

Update the Commission of the Fine Arts information. Powell would have completed his service as chair in 2021. References to CFA's own online pages would be easy.
So too, the use of "NGA" may sound unofficial and slangy
There's an instance of parentheses where a bracket would indicate a quotation by J. Carter Brown altered for clarity, per Wikipedia:Brackets.
And one could mention Powell's membership on the Board of Trustees of the Redwood Library and Athenaeum in Newport, Rhode Island.
