This is a very special gallery, filled with images of extraordinary people. My students have been helping me host this dinner for 15 years. They -- and those kids that preceded them and who are long grown up now -- are filled with love, compassion and grace.Thank you's to Serafina for picking up the camera when I was busy with guests and to Eric for keeping a secret he later surprised me with. My own children have grown up doing this with me, and to them especially, I give my humblest and sincerest thanks, my undying devotion and all of my deepest respect. Jeremy, Gabe and Catie, I will always love you with all my heart. ~ Jeanne Newman
