I don't know them all (and "Annie Lou" Leibovitz certainly wouldn't remember me from 1971 in San Francisco) but, among the honorees is
Christine Stuart, a hero of mine.
It is a rah-thah pricey event tomorrow night, so instead of attending (and CHEERING) I am sending a
donation (last button on the link page) to the online news outlet CT News Junkie, owned and edited by Christine Stuart.
