Speakers from the dais had nothing but praise for Fritz Coleman following the Friday luncheon. They especially lauded him for his tireless community outreach. But PPB member Roberta Kemp, center, had a few good-natured jabs for Fritz that she shouted from her table. Fritz explained that when he was first starting out as a stand-up comedian in LA, he frequently opened for Roberta's act. (Roxanne Schorbach photo) |
President "Shotgun Tom" Kelly presented PPB's Art Gilmore Career Achievement Award to Fritz Coleman at the conclusion of an extremely humorous and entertaining program.
