Double the Fun

It was a double occasion for celebration when Montecito animal rights activist Gretchen Lieff threw a sunset soirée at Tydes at the Coral Casino when her longtime beau medical equipment executive Miles Hartfeld celebrated his 66th birthday.

The peripatetic twosome just returned from sojourns in Oahu and Kauai where they got engaged, Gretchen tells me.

Among those joining in the boffo bash were Belle Hahn and her mother Tomasine, James Semick, Hal Conklin, Beverley Jackson, Judi Weisbart, Edie Caldwell, Kristi Newton, Tom and Eileen Mielko, Anne Towbes, and Gwyn Lurie.
