A huge crowd turned out for HMP's most recent Coffee With... event. These morning gatherings feature one of
our members and an interesting TV, radio, music, or film personality. On Saturday, June 22nd, we saluted
ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT - HOW IT BEGAN! Produced by CHUCK STREET and hosted by JOHN E. GOLDHAMMER, former
Paramount TV exec in charge of ET creation. The room was filled with former and current ET staff and included
video appearance from VIN DI BONA, ANDY FRIENDLY, JOHN TESH, ROBB WELLER, RON HENDREN, STEVE HERSEN, and
a special message from former president of Paramount Studios, MICHAEL EISNER.
We had an enormous turnout for the Game Show Diamond Jubilee Brunch on August 20th. Celebrities on hand were BOB EUBANKS,
