A last-minute addition to the celebrity dais for George Schlatter was popular actor and entertainer Tony Danza, who recalled his many TV appearances under the direction of the luncheon honoree. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
Following lunch, Sarah Purcell "embarrassed" George Schlatter by reading something he had written many years ago which contained several instances of the "f-word." Our honoree was not the only one in the room feeling a bit uncomfortable at hearing his own four-letter words. On the other hand, George Schlatter is not known for subtle humor!

PPB Board member John Newton and surrounding luncheon attendees were having a great time listening to the celebrities on the dais relate stories about their experiences working with George Schlatter. He was instrumental in giving a start to many entertainment careers. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
Luncheon honoree George Schlatter accepted his Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award from PPB President Alan Perris after dais guests had spoken. In his acceptance remarks, our honoree thanked the organization for his award and entertained with some humorous comments about each guest on the dais. He also expressed his disdain for the present political climate in the country. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
