Party for Priscilla

Social gridlock reigned at Arnoldi’s, one of our tony town’s oldest eateries, when my trusty shutterbug Priscilla celebrated the 30th anniversary of her half century with a dinner for her many friends hosted by social gadabout Rick Oshay.

After eclectic cocktails guests tucked into pasta, steak, and other items from the expansive menu as Priscilla, who like the English singer Engelbert doesn’t like to use her last name professionally, recounted some of the escapades from her colorful life and the innumerable events we have covered for this illustrious organ over the last 15 years.

“We come as a package,” I explained. “You can’t have Batman without Robin!”

Among Priscilla’s many fans were Dacia and Riley Hardwood, James and Helen Buckley, Brenda Blalock, Teresa Kuskey Nowak, Jerry McGinnis, Bob and Mary Gates, Tom and Carla Parker, and David Bolton and Gonzalo Sarmiento.
