At the Caring Community’s Nov. 7 gala, the honorees included Broadway actress Kaye Ballard and former Senator Bob Kerrey, president of New School University. Still more star power was added in the form of two well-known newspaper columnists, Liz Smith, who was the award presenter, and Rex Reed, the evening’s emcee.
