He and his wife, Michelle, have

While Michelle will have weight
added to her frame, Michael is

has now lost 40 unwanted pounds
and is determined to lose 10 more.

Last Friday night there was a
fun party to officially wrap up
this season of The Commish. The
cameras will start rolling again in

It was quite a lovely reception
last week as hotel and hospitality

and made even nicer by the atten-
tive service...

Multiple Sclerosis Society’s fund-
raising dinner. at the home of the
U.S. Consul General David

themselves. ,

Gallery owner Diasie Farris and

joyed themselves, as did the
