`

`
`BYLINE: MAXINE MESINGER
`
`BODY:
`
`I don't know about you, but I'm all holidayed out and definitely ready to be back at work. There's always a lot of
`romance in December, both engagements and weddings, and it seems to me that these days there are more December
`brides than the perennial June brides. Among those attending holiday nuptials this year were family and close friends at
`the home wedding of Bobby Finger and Andrea Turtur Pavlas. A few nights before the wedding the couple celebrated at
`a table for two at Vallone's and happily told pals the wedding was imminent. The groom is a big exec at Finger
`. Also
`.
`Furniture Co. Andrea's the daughter of insurance exec Mario Turtur and the ex-wife of attorney John Pavlas.
`.
`during the holidays, PaineWebber stockbroker Gary Gross popped the big question over a champagne dimer at the
`Redwood Grille to his longtime best gal, Amy Anderson, a Children's Museum staffer. They then took off for Santiago,
`Chile, to celebrate and to start planning a summer wedding in Houston.

`
`Rich Little, one of the best impersonators in show biz, worked at Players Island in Lake Charles, La., on New
`Year's Eve. He stopped in Houston on New Year's Day for a couple of days’ visit with a longtime good friend, publicist
`Judy Nichols. Rich has a book and a CD coming out soon. "lt's a tribute to Frank Sinatra," he said, "and instead of
`calling it Duets (the title of one of Sinatra's CDs), I named it Dumbettes. I have a big group of nonsingers singing songs
`Sinatra made famous." Rich will do a publicity tour with Dumbettes and definitely has Houston on his agenda. Rich has
`such offerings as President Clinton singing Call Me Irresponsible; Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck and
`about 12 other fellas, all over 50, singing Young at Heart; Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre and Vincent Price
`warbling Witchcraft; and John Wayne and Clint Eastwood singing Something Stupid. "It sounds like they're singing to
`each other, but it turns out they're singing to their horses," Rich said. Of course, as you probably realize, none of these
`nonsingers are really on the CD; Rich does all their voices. He's so good at that, you'll think they're all really there.

`
`Alley Theater publicist Jennifer Garza reminds that Calista Flockhart, the star of television's Ally McBeal, worked
`at the Alley some years ago. Garza was excited because she got the word from A&E that Flockhart would be the subject
`of one of that network's upcoming episodes of Biography. A&E called to ask Garza to send them some photos and
`video of Calista from her work here. "Apparently, footage of her early theatrical career is quite rare," Garza said. The
`A&E episode aired Dec. 29, and it traced Flockharfs theater career back to February 1989, when she performed at the
`Alley in its production of Heaven's Hard by Jordan Budde and again in 1993 in Our Town by Thornton Wilder.
`Incidentally, longtime Alley actress Bettye Fitzpatrick played the stage manager in Our Town in '93, and on Jan. 8 she'll
`open in the Alley's The Beauty Queen of Leenane, playing the lead role of Mag Folan. This will be the first U.S.
`resident-theater production of the play, which is now on Broadway with Irish actress Anna Manahan playing Mag.

`Buyers not sheepish in bidding for top lamb
`

`
`BODY:
`
`A buying group calling itself the Sheepskates proved to be anything but cheap Friday when it paid a record $
`140,000 for the grand champion lamb at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
`
`Mack Brown, Gerry Pate, Pat Manning and Mike Garver, all in the construction business, exceeded by $ 10,000 the
`previous high for the grand champion lamb set here in 1997.
`
`"The least we can do is come out and bid," said Garver, referring to the work already done by youngsters and
`volunteer members of the auction committee.
`
`A different group bought the reserve grand champion lamb for $ 100,000, also a new high. The buyers, Robert
`Finger, Janet Heard, Kathy Somerville and Beverly Wren, exceeded the previous record by $ 37,000.
`
`Thus far, every grand champion sold by youngsters - the lamb, chickens, turkey and pig - has set bidding records.
`The steer buyers today are up against a staggering $ 500,000 paid in 1995, if they want to set a record.
`
`"Everybody associated with the show is absolutely elated with this trend that seems to be setting in," said Leroy
`Shafer, assistant general manager for marketing. He called the high prices indicative of the mood within the Houston
`business community.
`
`Officials are holding their breath on how much the steer will bring. "We may walk out of here with world records
`for all of the champions and reserve champions. As far as we are able to determine, this has never happened before,"
`Shafer said.
`
`Up to this point, most of the buyers are familiar faces at the auctions. The Sheepskates paid $ 63,000 for the reserve
`grand champion lamb last year.
`
`Manning owns Texas Sterling Construction, Garver owns BRH Construction, Brown's Sajo Construction Co. builds
`golf courses, and Pate is in the construction engineering business.
`
`Of the reserve lamb purchasers, Finger represents Finger Furniture Co.; Heard is the wife of Jack Heard Jr., of
`JERA Investments; Somerville is the wife of Paul Somerville, a lifetime vice president of the livestock show; and Wren
`was a buyer last year.

`
`The seller of the grand champion lamb, Trent McKnight, 18, of Throckmorton, will get to keep $ 25,000 of the
`record sum, while the seller of the reserve champion, Nicole Blackwell, l7, of New Braunfels, will keep $ 17,500. The
`excess goes into a scholarship fund.
`
`The 299 lambs that went through the auction ring Friday are destined for slaughter. The most that youngsters can
`take home for nonchampion lambs is $ 7,500. The lambs‘ market value is about $ 80 each, according to show officials
`who calculate a resale credit for buyers who don't want the meat.
