Enjoying this nautical soiree were Century 21's Richard and Theresa Griffin, the Honorable Steve Bartlett, who will take command as chairman elect in September, Board Member Dan R. Bannister, Jim Dickman, Barb Cantor, Sandie Pearce, Honorary Chair, Christine Sarbanes and her hubby, U.S. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes, Margaret Wolf and beau, John Corlett, name a very few. This boating benefit will allow Easter Seals to give children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome and autism to experience a full day of fun and the excitement of boating. Easter Seals communication guy Michael Levin said it's all about independence, a thrill of a lifetime for children who struggle daily to accomplish most routine tasks.
Easter Seals relies on boaters willing to take families for a ride. These volunteer captains certainly have their hearts anchored in the right place.

OUR CONDOLENCES
The Examiner sends heartfelt sympathies to Baltimore Raven No. 75, Jonathan Ogden, and his brother Marcus on the loss of their father last week.
SUN'S PRICE NO SMALL CRAB CAKES
Rumor has it that former Baltimore County Executive Ted Venetoulis is putting together a group who wants to buy The Sun from its Chicago owners. Just think, this talented politico, who has never seen a Democrat he didn't like, might soften up The Sun's pro-Dem rhetoric. Rumor mill has asking price to be as high as $800 million. Boy oh boy, that's a lot of crab cakes.
