 Jack Goriski, the master of ceremonies, starts the awards show and explains how he became the "PGC Badge Lady". Yes Jack, she is georgous. |
Banquet attendees had a special treat as PGC brought in Phladelphia based actor Neill Hartley to present his one-man show: The Spirit of Lindbergh. Neill used a modest collection of costumes and sets - and was Charles Lindbergh for 45 minutes - talking to the PGC audience in Lindbergh's own words as written in the account of the atlantic crossing, "We". A link to Neill's website follows. http://www.neillhartley.com/onemanshows.html
