Mayor gives history lesson with flair
What a difference a year makes. Wednesday night at the annual mayor’s dinner in Newport Beach, everything went swimmingly.
Good to see my old friend Judge Steve Bromberg.
Mayor Don Webb skipped the traditional “state of the city” address and opted for the 100-year history of Newport Beach. Actually, it was more like 125 years.
The extra 25 years made a long program even longer.
Despite the length, the mayor proved that he does know his stuff.
The pre-speech over-under for falling asleep was at sometime in the mid-1940s.
And did you see the way the mayor was dressed in hat, vest and bow tie? As Gordon Bowley would have said, “Did your invitation say costume?”
