Here’s a recent picture of the Women in Scottsdale’s Woman of the Year awards. This year’s Winner is Paula Cullison, 4th from the left, standing next to my friend, Wink Blair, who brought me as her guest. The Honorable Carolyn S. Allen is on Paula’s other side.  Wink is a founder of Women of Scottsdale, and in addition to having her own PR firm, I discovered my friend, artist, Robert Sutz is her brother-in-law.  Wink has a pretty interesting group of friends, including former Mayor of Scottsdale, Mary Manross, who is standing next to Sleep America’s Debby Gaby, 3rd and 2nd from the right.  Mary sat next to me at lunch, and I discovered we have something in common, her son is a sailor who has his own harrowing tale of rescue at sea.

Great event, great group, I will definitely think about joining.
