San Francisco Boyscout Council Raises $300K and We helped
Well, we helped a little last night in San Francisco. The occasion was the 22nd Annual Gala held at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel on Nob Hill with over 300 in attendance. The San Francisco Bay Area Council of Boy Scouts of America was Honoring Mrs. Mary Cranston. Mrs. Cranston is the CEO of the Largest Law Firm in the United States. Others in attendance were Mr. Chuck Smith, CEO and President of AT&T, who I have had the honor of photographing his Gala a couple of years back. Also in attendance were over 30 other major corporation and CEO’s from around our country.
One of the items auctioned off that night was a mint 1962 Red and White Thunderbird automobile. There were only 600 of these made in the USA and some were owned by such people as Elvis Presley and Wayne Newton. below are the winners of this fabulous car.
Helping me photograph the silent auction and also the main gala was Mark Lydell who not only is one of my best friends but also a great photographer with a keen eye for detail. The two of us were treated with all the other guests to a wonderful 3 course meal that was to die for! Well as you can see we didn’t die, but it was really yummy.
Here are a few photos from last night.

Hey – you werent supposed to photograph me when I was up on the stage!! I was just trying to get a little height advantage over the crowd…
Thanks for letting me come along to help – it was a blast!!
I think the best part of the evening was the auction – do you have any pics of the car to post or are you waiting for mine?
