2014 SPRING LUNCHEON

On Saturday, May 24, fifty-five ASH and friends attended the Annual Spring Luncheon at Moran’s Chelsea Restaurant. The traditional toasts were: Victoria Regina—Mickey Fromkin; Irene Adler—Marilynne McKay; Sherlock Holmes—Jenn Eaker; Watson—Tiffany Knight; ACD—Lee Lord; Friendship—Lynn Walker.

The theme for the special toasts was “Pathways to Baker Street.” Ashley Polasek recognized the Doubleday edition of the Canon with the Morley introduction (1930) and Karen Wilson toasted Nicholas Meyer and the fortieth anniversary of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. Karen’s musical tribute to Elementary appears in this issue. Terry Hunt (right) channeled Señor Wences with Holmes and Watson puppets discussing the modern shows. Beth Austin theorized on brain fever, and Nick Martorelli discoursed on the Bert Coules BBC radio version of LION with Tim Evers and Lyndsay Faye providing theatrical support.
