A few more ….
More than 100 beloved friends & colleagues showed up at to see what 30 years looks like 😂
1) my best PR friend Vicki Bendure won the day with the spot-on gift and (you had to be there) reminiscence of a moment when my communications skills were lacking

2) my adored friend Bob Madigan, WTOP’s longtime “Man About Town”, came out of his comfortable retirement in Maine to be my surprise guest

3) hardly recognized Rey Lopez without a camera - and he won the prize for creative gift wrapping (if you don’t have ribbon, use balloons)

4) The Reverend Canon Jan Naylor Cope & husband John Cope. Not only were we sorority sisters (Trinity University- San Antonio), we came to DC following George HW Bush. Jan, as deputy director of Presidential Personnel in the Bush 41 White House, put me in the best & hardest job I’ve ever had. (Director of Public Affairs, National Endowment for the Arts). After a successful post-White House career as a head hunter, Jan followed her heart and became an Episcopalian minister. She now serves as Provost of the National Cathedral.

5) it’s Barred in DC and Mrs Barred - my cute friends Raman & Jo

6) Annie Groer, former Washington Post “Reliable Source” and my most reliable friend

7) Maurisa Potts - how cute is she? - my go-to when I need a reality check or to be talked off the ledge

8 - the master of ceremonies, the busiest man in DC, the peripatetic Tommy McFLY - he’s everywhere and I’m so grateful he was there - along with his literal other half Chrys Kefalas who holds such an important place on my list of special friends

9) Dan Swartz put down his camera and took the time from a very busy day to be there ❤️

10) Troy Petenbrink with a huge surprise & honor, a letter of congratulations to me from the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington - Troy’s thoughtfulness in facilitating that letter will never be forgotten.

Some final photo dumps from my party - just overwhelmed by how many friends took time from their Sunday afternoon to stop by Carmine's Italian Restaurant - Washington DC for camaraderie and meatballs. So many fellow PR colleagues and media friends (all TV network affiliates represented 🙂) made for a fabulous time for me to commemorate 30 years of creating this business.
It’s why I love what I do and I’m grateful for all
