A Supremely Great Evening

A performance by The Supremes, onion ringsfor dinner, milkshakes for dessert, and MayorAnthony Williams in rolled jeans and a t-shirt.What else could it be but Best Friend's "Do YouRemember When Rock Was Young?" gala? Asalways, this highly successful event, chairedby Elayne Bennett and Alma Powell, attractedheavyweights from politics, the media, and thebusiness arena for some 50's style fun, raisingmore than 1 million for the ever-expandingBest Friends/Best Men programs. Most guestsheeded the invite's warning and came "dressedto dance," with more than a few authenticvarsity jackets and bowling shirts spotted in thecrowd, while pink poodle skirts were de rigueurfor the ladies. Perfect 10 Bo Derek showed offher hula-hooping skills. Perfect!
