Heart of San Diego Gala

It was a beautiful weekend in San Diego. We stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado, guests of Bob & Betty Beyster & their daughter, Mary Ann.

Bob founded and recently stepped down as President & CEO of SAIC (http://www.saic.com/), one of the top 5 defense contractors for the US Government. One of their major contributions is for the Department of Homeland Security's special screening of our ports as well as their work on security for the Olympic games (among many other important contributions toward keeping our world safe). They are an amazing family and are so incredibly down to earth. The Beysters were being recognized for their generous support for UCSD's Cardiac Research at the Heart of San Diego Gala. It was a glamorous black tie event - we truly felt special and honored to be at their table.
Among the guests...Marian Ross from Happy Days! She looked stunning with her red hair and sequined green gown. (sorry no pic - I didn't want to be so bold as to snap a shot without her permission - I know, I make a horrible paparazzi).
