West Vancouver's own Tony Dowling (left) and Mary Jane Murphy toasted the evening and Bruno's memory in style.

It was positively thrilling to have "Royal Canadian Air Farce" comedian Roger Abbot co-host the evening. His impressions of the Queen Mother, the Newfie Newsman and the "Oh yah, Oh yah" Donut Guy are legendary.

Co-host Julie Stewart, who was nominated for a Gemini award for her portrayal of Sgt. Ali McCormick in "Cold Squad", was once a National Theatre School student.

He's a bit of a "Canadian Establishment" himself. North Shore resident and best-selling author Peter C. Newman, seen here with wife Alvy, wrote a "Salute to a Beachcomber", a touching piece which was read aloud before dinner.

These two gentleman are truly a portrait of greatness. Canadian actor/director Douglas Campbell (left) will be joining Bard on the Beach artistic director Christopher Gaze this year for their summer performances.

Justice Nancy Morrison was Bruno's longtime partner and friend. It was a special kind of love that lives on to this day.

West Vancouver's Diane Pantages (left) and friend Tina VanderHeyden were in good company during dinner.

The multi-talented musician/actor/journalist John MacLachlin Gray, who later performed some music for the guests, used to compose and perform satirical video for CBC's "The Journal".

Committee member Diane Forsythe has finally agreed to take auctioneer and radio personality Dave Abbott for keeps. They are planning a fabulous summer wedding.
