Linwood Olson and Kristen Olson Lyons

Nearly 250 guests, including (pictured, from left) Linwood Olson and Kristen Olson Lyons, poured into the Houston Country Club in support of the Spaulding for Children inaugural luncheon. The nonprofit organization places children who have endured abuse, neglect or abandonment in adoptive homes. KPRC’s meteorologist Frank Billingsley served as master of ceremonies. Billingsley is adopted and shared memories of his own adoption and recent experience in finding his biological family. Houston Mayor Annise Parker spoke to the audience about her experience with Spaulding for Children more than 10 years ago when she and wife Kathy Hubbard adopted their daughters from Spaulding for Children.
