Filling the entry hall of Linda and Bill Custard’s Highland Park home, it got silk shoulder-to –silk shoulder with the gals. At one point young members stood in line watching the veterans like Pam Perella, Christie Carter, Daffan Nettle, Kristina Whitcomb, Leigh Ann Haugh, Jan Baldwin, Lynn McBee and Lydia Novakov, who was receiving congrats for the family’s receiving the first-ever Terre Thomas Award presented by ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Only problem? The lineup kept the guests from easing into the adjoining the living room.
Ah, but what the heck. The guys, like Vin Perella, Ron Odlozil and David Camp found a corner next to the staircase to watch the ladies.

And then there were those who eased into the dining room with a table filled with Cassandra goodies.
Leave it to hostess Linda with a new short haircut to spot two candles on a serving table that hadn’t been lit.
According to JLD 2016 Gala Chair Isabell Novakov, everything was going extremely well. As she scanned the room, she did admit that she couldn’t wait to join the “past” club.
