Sunday, April 28, 2019---Dr. Bartner's Spring Concert, "Final Curtain," Reception
TGLA members attended the annual Spirit of Troy's spring concert, "Final Curtain," in Bovard Auditorium on Sunday. The concert was superb, with many famous guest artists performing. The artists were Tenors Dennis McNeil, Eduardo Villa (a USC alumnus) and Marco Labastida; Jazz and Blues Artist Barbara Morrison; Opera Tenor Felipe Prado: USC School of Dramatic Arts performers Lucy Grebin, Austin Karkowsky, Tristan McIntyre and Cole Slater, who performed "The Room Where It Happens" from "Hamilton;" Trumpeteer David Washburn; and Saxophonist Sal Lozano. The concert ended with the USC Concert Band and the Spirit of Troy performing Dr. Bartner's favorite pieces from each one of his decades as the Director of the Spirit of Troy. FIGHT ON, Spirit of Troy!
After the concert there was a reception for the donors. Trojan Candy gathered all of the TGLA members at Carol Fox's table for this group picture. Standing were Christine Ofiesh, Lois Booth, D'Arcy McLeod, Carol Wright, Ann Palmer, Sandy Johnston, Sharon Dolezal Wood, and Betty Gross. Sitting were Patti Poon, Alli Solum, Carol Fox, Carol Thueson, and Barbara Hance.
What a memorable concert and reception!
Sunday, April 7, 2019---USC Associates Reception for "Sunday in the Park with George"
My husband Jim and I were invited to the "Sunday in the Park with George" musical by the Rossier School of Education. Thank you Dean Karen Gallagher! Before my husband and I went into the theater, we saw Associate Scholar Mahima Varanasi. Mahima and Jim smiled for my picture.
Jim and I really enjoyed the production. Such talented Trojans!
Now it was time to go to the reception in Associates Park. Trojan Candy was looking for any other Trojan Guild of Los Angeles members at the reception.

I also saw TGLA member Linda Waxman and her husband Bob at the reception. I mistakenly thought that I had included the two of them in one of the pictures I took of Half Century Trojans (HCT) for my HCT blog, but I hadn't. Sorry, Linda, I'll make sure to take your picture next year.
On our way out, Trojan Candy took a picture of Senior Executive Director of the USC Associates Adam Bart and Matt Degrushe.
What a memorable performance and a scrumptious dinner.
