What an amazing experience! Not many people get to enjoy an evening like that and you had a front row seat. I liked the theme of the event and I'm glad it was successful. The memories you have is the best part.

I was in the heart business, too for many years. I went to an American Heart Association meeting in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 80's. I lived in Houston, Texas from 1985 to 1989 and worked on artificial heart with a heart surgeon. I also met Dr. Denton Cooley in a party in Houston.

I have heard of Lena Horne.

Well done.

What a wonderful job in describing an incredible evening with a Lena Horne performance. You give so much detail in your writing not only can I imagine the evening, but I can imagine you in that ill-fitting suit!
Well done.
Best wishes
Mary

Thanks for sharing about your fabulous evening. You sure met a lot of famous people in your Am. Heart Assn. career! And I was happy to see Greg Morris in your list of celebrities. Loved that Mission Impossible TV show!

Hello Terry,
What a great night that you and the audience enjoyed. I would have loved to have been there myself. Though Lena Horn was more popular during my parent's time, I still remember hearing her sing. She was a beautiful woman. I remember Greg Morris well. Mission Impossible was one of my favorite shows at the time. They had an all star cast. Thanks for sharing this memorable evening with us.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Oh, what a beautiful woman Lena Horne was. And Hank Aaron always seemed the same humble and kind man of his youth, even as a car dealer in Atlanta. Sounds like an outstanding and enjoyable event for the executive director and all who attended. Thanks for sharing.

This is very well written and I enjoyed it from word one. The picture certainly added a great deal of validity to scene-- a well set scene. I truly enjoyed it and can't exactly why it wasn't a 6 in my reading -more of a 5 and a-half! lol You write so very well and have so many great posts that you, yourself, have set the bar high for sixes. Good post. ann

It certainly sounds like a wonderful night, I know there are many celebrities that have donated their time an talent to shows, not only in the US, but in Australia, Europe, Britain etc. beautifully written, is Lena Horne still alive, she would be 105;if she was. Beautifully written Terry, blessings Roy
