IT HAPPENED ON BUNKER HILL
Approximately five hundred people gathered in the garden of the
hofne of Dr. and Mrs. Willie Brown to help the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority pull off their annual Fashionette Extravaganza and judging from
the reaction of the guests it was truly an Extravaganza.
Among the out of town celebrities in attendance were Debbie Foxx,
daughter of television personality Redd Foxx, Wilma Rodoulph, Olympic
Gold Medalist, and Belva Davis, Bay area TV personality.
There was a very impressive presentation of the ten best dressed men
and women in the Valley, as presented by the Grapevin Magazin. Gottschalks
furnished the clothes for a very beautiful—around the pool—
fashion show. Poor pig, food-ah-plenty was prepared under the watchful
eye of Mr. L. Williams. Marvin Howard, Rita Walker, Belva Davis,
and Woody Miller were the Masters of Ceremonies.

IT HAPPENED ON BUNKER HILL
Approximately five hundred people gathered in the garden of the
hofne of Dr. and Mrs. Willie Brown to help the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority pull off their annual Fashionette Extravaganza and judging from
the reaction of the guests it was truly an Extravaganza.
Among the out of town celebrities in attendance were Debbie Foxx,
daughter of television personality Redd Foxx, Wilma Rodoulph, Olympic
Gold Medalist, and Belva Davis, Bay area TV personality.
There was a very impressive presentation of the ten best dressed men
and women in the Valley, as presented by the Grapevin Magazin. Gottschalks
furnished the clothes for a very beautiful—around the pool—
fashion show. Poor pig, food-ah-plenty was prepared under the watchful
eye of Mr. L. Williams. Marvin Howard, Rita Walker, Belva Davis,
and Woody Miller were the Masters of Ceremonies.
