Costume Ball
October 11, 2003
We were blessed with perfect weather
but had to contend with additional traffic from the Fall Street Fair

Thanks to David and Sharen Neuhardt for their generous hospitality, and to Peggy Erskine and Nancy Noonan for their superb organization in coordinating all the details.
