Jean Bean and Bev

News from me is that we (my husband Ed and I) went to Atlanta last weekend and met up with Jean Bean. She showed us around Little Five Points and other parts of Atlanta. It was a fun time and I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this year of reconnecting to people from CCAD. It was good to see Jean and to look at photos (I brought a bunch from the reunion to show her) and getting reacquainted - it was as if only a few years had gone by - not 27!

Attached are a couple of pictures for the blog. Thanks for keeping that up as well too. Comments and photo by Bev West

Bob's Big Adventure in L.A.

Finally home and back to normal. Went to California 3 days before I started working, and spent them with Bob Brocke, Mark Kaufman and Geri, Marks' beautiful,articulate and hospitable girlfriend. Oh, and Mandy, Max and Morgan, thier dogs. Mark and Geri live in Costa Mesa, a mile from Newport Beach. We spent our time biking the boulevard, eating at area restaurants,drinking, bar-hopping, laughing, reminescing and playing with Marks dogs. Saturday night, Phil Foster drove up from San Diego and the 4 boys went out for a night of fun. Wow. Barhopping in Newport Beach, we wound up closing a pool hall at 2:30.

It was great to spend time with them, and then off to LA I went, to Paramount Studios and the Rockerfeller Hotel. Once again I worked the Pre-VMA Red Carpet Show. Once again I was the Assistant to the staging Manager, Aaron Chawla. Super great guy. Loved every minute of it. I actually got some airtime. You can barely see me, but about halfway thru, the Preshow-when rapper T-Pain rides in on an elephant, if you look behind the elephants but , you can see me directing limos.
I'm sending you the clip I made. Had an awesome time. Letter by Bob Horvath
