On October 20, 2010, it was my pleasure to participate in Wells Fargo's Second Half Champions awards,** held at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts (www.kimmelcenter.org/), "celebrating extraordinary (three individuals) transformations after the age 50." The Hammels Foundation co-sponsored the event.
I nominated my friend, Patricia C. Gallagher because the second half of her life, she and her family have been speaking out and helping others become aware of clincal depression and other mental health issues and how they affect family and friends.
The two other recipients were Dick Goldberg, Director of Coming of Age; and Lisa Reisman Halterman, owner of her art gallery. The program highlighted each awardee with a short video of their accomplishments, followed by the evening's entertainment, by talented Mike Rayburn (www.MikeRayburn.com), "The World's Funniest Guitar Virtuoso."
