SOY TELLS ALL

AS NORTH Vancouver’s
tall, dark and handsome ac-
tor, Roger Barnes, dropped
into his corner store last
Tuesday night to pick up
some groceries, a lady
standing behind him was
thumbing through a
Chatelaine magazine.

All of a sudden, she gave a
laugh and said, ‘‘You certainly
look different when you don’t feel
well!"’ Roger didn’t know what
she was talking about until she
showee him a large ad in the
glossy mag.

And there was Roger, in full
color, looking simply dreadful
with a terrible nose-dripping cold!
ft was a new commercial that
Roger had just done for Scotties.
He didn’t even know thai it was
out.

Everybody in the store im-
mediately rushed over to pick up
and purchase their own copy of
Chatelaine and then had Roger
autograph it.

You may remember Roger. He
played the father of a little boy in
the Old Spice Christmas television
commercials. And you'll see him
again shortly in some new Power
Smart commercials!...

One of last week’s gala events
was the marriage of pretty, blonde
Wendy Lisogar, second daughter
of hotelier Roy Lisegar and his
former skating star wife, Lorrie,

to her handsome best fellow,
Sergio Cocchia, Saturday after-
noon in West Vancouver's Christ
The Redeemer Catholic Church.

Wendy wore a sheath-style,
floor-length wedding dress of
heavily beaded, white French lace
with a cathedral-length train of
more than 10 feet! And Wendy is
so tiny!

Sergio is the son of Concettina
and Pasquale Cocchia and it was
Pasquale who began more than a
year ago to make his photo of
Sergio and Wendy on the label,
while the talented Concettina
made all of the six bridal atten-
dants’ pink sitk dresses and hats
as well as the tiny flower girl and
ring bearers’ outfits, Tenor Steven
Price sang Ave Maria while the
harpist was Moira Van Nus.

The reception was held at Roy's
Century Plaza Hotel in their new-
ly renovated ballroom with

MEL ZAJAC... spotted at the
Lisogar-Cocchia wedding.

CBC-TV's Phil Reimer as a witty
and charming emcee. CKNW’s
Rick Honey gave a very touching
toast to the bride, recalling a
close-knit, loving immigrant fami-
ly, a quality of family life we des-
perately need now.

Other notable guests at Wendy
and Sergio’s wedding reception
were the just-retired Vancouver
police chief, Bob Stewart and his
Variety International Ambassador

wife Barbara; former hotelier, Met
Zajac, who brought a message of
congratulations to the newlyweds
from his pal, Bob Hope, who was
in Victoria; the newest realtor in
town (can't keep up with his ca-
reer changes!) John Pozer and
CKLG account executive Naney
Walls CKNW sports guy. Neit
Macrae and his pretty dental
hygenist. Wendy; BCTV account
zxes Amaey Amery, who worked
for years as Roy’s personal assis-
tant; CFUN'’s Nancy Neil who
was chic in deep blue; former
tadio host and U-TV's open-liner
Pat Burns and big Gordie Webster
and his very best gal, Gary!

This was one of Gary's first
social outings from G.F. Strong
Rehab Centre following her long
ilness. She iooks great and she's
feeling so much stronger. My spies
report that following the first
dance by Wendy and Sergio, the
next couple on the floor was Gor-
die and Gary.

One of the truly heart-rugging
Moments at the wedding, though,
on Saturday afternoon, was the
sight of Roy Lisogar, walking
together with his daughter down
the aisle of the church to the
strains of the traditional wedding
march.

Two and a half years ago, Roy
was so ill that there was some
doubt about his recovery. Yet here
he was, the happiest and proudest
father of the bride! Everyone had
their hankies out!

Wendy and Sergio have now
left on a sun and golfing vacation
to Bermuda and the West Indies
before heading to see Mickey
Mouse in Disneyland.

Gale and Rick Honey were just
back in time to attend the wed-
ding following a 16-day, first-ever
vacation trip to England and
Paris. And the name-dropping
stories they’ve brought back with
them are marvellous!

They were sipping tea in an
outdoor cafe in London, right
across the street from the Savoy,
when there was a great ruckus as
dozens and dozens of Rolls-
Royces began arriving at the fam-
ed hotel. Seems they were sipping
tea just as Princess Diana began
celebrating her 30th birthday with
a very ritzy party!

And they found themselves
walking side-by-side with the not-
too-ritzy singer, Sinead O’Connor.
You could spot her immediately

IN ATTENDANCE at the wed-

with her shaved head and hiking
boots.

Proving what a small world it
really is. they were shopping in
the renowned Harrod's depart-
ment store when they bumped into
Eleni and Nelson Skalbania, who
were scarching for the perfect
graduation present for Eleni’s
daughter.

Walking on the Champs Elysees
and boating on the Seine, they did
it all. And they can’t wait to do it
again...

[t wasn’t easy but that gutsy
lady, Gertie Todd, did pull off her
40th annual Miss North Shore
Pageant, despite the smaller
number of contestants and the
last-minute pull-out of her veteran
emcee, Mare Howard.

Marc had emceed Gertie’s first
beauty contest 40 years ago and
had hosted another 30 of them
over the years. He was looking
forward to reprising his role but
unfortunately came down with the
flu on the big day. His hosting
replacement was Nigel Williams, a
director of the pageant.

MISS NORTH Shore is Sabrina
Deneumoustier, also voted
Miss Personality.

The happy news is that the
White Spot’s Sabrina
Deneumoustier won the prize as
Miss North Shore for 1991 while
her runner-up Princess was the
North Shore Auto Family’s Ginny
Pereira. It doesn’t happen that
often but the winning Sabrina was
also chosen as this year’s Miss
Personality. Congratulations! ...
Cheers!
