2010 AUTUMN LUNCHEON

December 5, 2010—Forty-one ASH and friends gathered at the Black Duck Restaurant in Manhattan. The traditional toasts were given: Mickey Fromkin, Queen Victoria; Sandy Kozinn, Irene Adler; Carol Cavalluzzi, Sherlock Holmes; Nancy Whitaker, John H. Watson; Margaret Fleesak, ACD; and Marina Stajic, to Friendship.

Special toasts were: Susan Rice, to twenty years of women in the BSI; Sue and Ben Vizoskie, to country house hunting parties; Lynn Walker, to Canonical picnics and game birds as food; and Bill Nadel, to Daffy Duck. Philip Shreffler spoke about John Hopley Neligan Sr.’s yacht, and Dana Richards discussed ACD and the United Divorce Reform League. Many of the above items will be appearing in the Muse.

As always, the gathering concluded with traditional ASH songs (although “Aunt Clara” didn’t make the cut this time).
