LIKE-MINDEDPARTIES

Need a place to successfully kick off a fund-raiser? Think Forty Five Ten. For the last two years, Aging Mind Foundation’s well-connected party planners have secured the downtown boutique for a celebration of its patrons. This year was no exception. Mirador, the eatery

atop Forty Five Ten, was closed to the public for the eve, with DJ Lucy Wrubel and a well-heeled crowd on hand. We spotted Vivian and Alberto Lombardi, Debra Nelson, Deborah and John Scott, Holly Forsythe, and Jenna Alexander. At the Aging Mind Foundation Gala, waterproof mascara should have been part of the dress code: Between the emotional video highlighting the life of honoree Betty Tatum and the

heart-achingly lovely performance by Ashley Campbell — daughter of the late music legend Glen Campbell, who suffered from Alzheimer’s — there were few dry eyes. But the organization’s fund-raiser provided plenty of reasons to smile, too. Chairman Cara Owens, honorary chairs Barbara and Don Daseke, and guests Ashley Tatum, Sherwood Wagner, Laree Hulshoff and Ben Fischer, Barbara and Steve Durham, Zach Hess, and Greg Haynes Johnson suited up in their black-tie best and gathered at The Joule to honor the late Betty Tatum and her husband, John Tatum. To raise money for this year’s honoree — UTSW Medical Center’s Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases — Heritage Auctions’ Mike Sadler sparked bidding wars for a trip to London and a VIP Kentucky Derby weekend.
