JOY TELLS ALL

IT WAS just a wonderful
time touring around the har-
bor enjoying high tea on the
high seas last week onn
board the spacious Sunset
Bay 11 as a guest of the
Vancouver Port
Cerporation’s Ron
Longstafié and his vivacious
wife Jackie.

They were entertaining the Lord
Mayor of London, Sir Paul Newell
and Lady Newell and British High
Commissioner to Canada, Sir
Nicholas Bayne and Lady Bayne.
U.K. Consu! General Brian Austin
was also on board with B.C.’s for--
mer Agent General in London,
Garde Gardom, MP Anna
Tarana, Harbor Master Gordon
Houston, Canada Place chairman
Farouk Verjee and the Pan
Pacifics’ John Williams and Susan
Gomez. -

The Lord Mayor and his party
had been touring 15 cities in 22
days and spent some time over in
Victoria at the Commonwealth
Games with the Queen and Prince
Philip... The tea, by the way, was
Lipton’s Red Rose and the Lord
Mayor was heard to utter the
words, “Only in Canada, you say?
Pity!”

It was simply a fabulous birth-
day party for sprightly Dee
Webster in the Marine Lounge of
the Westin Bayshore to celebrate
Dee’s big 4-0!

There were at least 60 close
friends, a waltzing gorilla, multi-
colored balloons, ice carvings,
flowers, a huge birthday cake and a
surprise for Dee — a print by her
favorite artist, Alberto DeCastro,
called Friendship.

Her favorite fellow, Greg
Douglas, really pulled this party off
well! Dee recently overcame a dev-
astating illness. She never let it get
her down, she fought it with
courage and good humor and she’s
won...

Longstaffe enjoyed a cruise and some tea during the Lord
Mayor of London's recent visit ta Vancouver.

The Crystal Pavillion in the Pan
Pacific Hotel was the colorful set-
ting for the Alzheimer Society's
annual fundraising dinner dance.

Molson’s Indy had invited the
world to its “Race agaisnt
Alzheimer’s” and the event was
sold out completely. It was also a
farewell salute to the racing world’s
Mario Andretti. And his whole
family was there to enjoy it. Even
the Pan's chef Enrico Balestra
arrived from the kitchens to sing a
medley of Italian favorites.

Dinner patron Juliette came
with her sister, Suzanne, while
Bob and Bobbie Kadiec attended
with Diane Forsythe and Don
Sutcliffe, Drinda and Barry Scott,
super lawyer Terry LeLiberte and
about 400 other guests.

The charming Phil Reimer
emceed, the Anna Wyman dancers
and the incredible Japanese Drum
Trio entertained while Mark
Hasselback and his Orchestra
played.

North Van's Alzheimer Dinner
chair Judy Strongman was ecstatic
with the $70,000 raised that night...

Quite a festive affair in Park
Royal south as the 15th-annual
Coho Festival got under way
Tuesday night.

There were a number of spectac-
ular paintings that had been judged
that afternoon with Bruce Muir
winning the first-place prize of
$7,000. His art work will appear on
all Salt Water licences issued in
1995.

The affair was emceed by veter-
an Monty Mefarlane and attended
by VIPs like renowned artist
Daniel Izzard and his wife Pilar,
North Shore Mayors Dykeman
and Loucks, MLA Jeremy Dalton,
Allan Williams, festival head Bill
Soprovich, PIR's Wendy
Cummings, Keith and Fay
McMynn, Fran and Emerson
