My wife owned The Travel Connection of Beverly Hills, CA and has done business and Fund Raising in Beverly Hills for many causes, it did not hurt that Don Pack, a very famous Hollywood and Socialite Photographer was one of her minions. The list is long and I am certainly going to make it easy. At the time her name was Suzie Harris. Now we are just plain old Villagers. If you think we are being anything but entertaining, you are wrong. Cheers!

Santa Claus-philanthropist, Best story for last. We were just sitting down at a long beautifully decorated table one Christmas Eve with our closest friends and family when the bell rang. I jumped up to the door and it is Santa Claus, in the most natural original outfit we had seen. His car had broken down on his way somewhere , so I invited him to join us for dinner. He was delightful!. We drank French Champagne and I do not remember what happened after that.
