2013 SPRING LUNCHEON

Thirty-two ASH and friends met on May 4 at the Black Duck Restaurant to celebrate spring and all things Sherlockian. After Evelyn Herzog’s welcoming remarks, the traditional toasts were given: Mickey Fromkin to Victoria Regina; Christopher Zordan to Irene Adler; Kristina Manente to Sherlock Holmes; Jenn Eaker to John H. Watson; Judith Freeman to Friendship; and Bob Zatz to ACD.

Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin gave a pair of toasts to Reichenbach Day, while M.E. Rich recognized racing and the Derby. Ev Herzog dealt with a topic many of us hate—spring cleaning, while more enjoyable subjects were addressed by Sandy Kozinn (country visits) and Peter Crupe (neighborhood pubs). Nick Martorelli toasted “spring and sports,” and Alex Katz addressed student life. The program concluded with Francine and Dick Kitts toasting Romance: a topic they know a great deal about, after which spirited ASH songs were sung.
