Arthur C. BartnerThe last picture Trojan Candy took before lunch was served was 2001 "Gown" honoree, Dr. Arthur C. Bartner. He is everywhere...just like Trojan Candy!

I must apologize to any TGLA members, who attended the Town and Gown Scholarship Benefit, if I didn't take your picture. It was impossible to know what table you sat at. Next time!

The two guest speakers were "Town" honoree Gloria Kaufman and "Gown" honoree Cynthia Cooper-Dyke.

What an enjoyable day!

FIGHT ON, Trojan Guild of Los Angeles!
