Thursday night’s GLT party at the newly remodeled Top of the Park opened the community’s holiday season. Hundreds of friends and clients of San Diego’s most popular gay and lesbian weekly nibbled treats from dozens of restaurants while enjoying the best views in town from the seventh floor of the Park Manor Hotel. Host Michael Portantino introduced Mayor Jerry Sanders, one of GLT’s Persons of the Year. Police Chief William Lansdowne was stuck at O’Hare Airport and unable to attend. Diane Trudeau (Dr Jeff Keeny’s longtime office administrator) proved to be the belle of the ball, posing at the right with Santa Nicole.
