Annual Dinner Honoring Distinguished Professors of Duke University


Our table at the Dinner.
Each year in April, Duke University honors its Distinguished Professors with a dinner--usually held at the Washington Duke Inn.  Dan and I enjoy this event---the food is always delicious, we treasure seeing old friends, and we like to meet the new inductees.  Dan was inducted as a James B. Duke Professor of Zoology in 1980, and that year the inductees were actually presented with a physical chair. 
Dan's JBD chair.
Before dinner I was admiring CT's beautiful and unusual necklace.
Lovely lady with lovely necklace.
Lump Crab Louis with Grilled Romaine, Golden Beet Puree & Grapefruit Caviar


Grilled Spiced Filet Mignon, Yukon Gold Potato, Local Asparagus
White Chocolate Pistachio Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis and Pistachio Brittle

My distinguished professor and me.
Glad to have a reason to carry my favorite clutch.

    Very good picture of you and your distinguished
    professor.
    Like your clutch too!
    But not as much as I like your professor.

    Love you both!
