Year in Review - A look back at 2003

Jan 8, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

Hard to believe it's all over, but now that the hectic holidays have come and gone, it seems only appropriate to pause for a quick look back at a few of the best events, and best faces, of 2003. From formal fundraisers and auspicious awards to golfing greats and boys who box - let's just say, the photos speak for themselves.
