Bellaire friends and neighbors came together at the Mosaic near Hermann Park this past weekend to celebrate Russ Pitman’s 80th birthday. Russ has been a passionate advocate for the community of Bellaire for many years. The stunning views of Houston set the scene for the festivities, including a catered dinner and cocktails.

Friends celebrating included former Bellaire mayor Cindy Siegel and Bob Siegel, Channel 13 anchor Tom and Brenda Koch, Dr. Howard and Teri Gerber, Gail Edmiston and son Michael Leatherwood  and Kathleen Ballanfant from Southwest News.
