Roadsters and rhythm were highlights of the recent Alzheimer's Association's "Cruisin' Down Memory Lane" gala.

The 175 guests first got an eyeful of classic cars parked outside Ravens Stadium, then an earful of vintage tunes inside the North Club Level Lounge.

It didn't take long for the Mood Swings dance band to get into full swing for Lindy-Hop pros like John Sargent and Samanta Papa-Sargent.

Among those having a ball were event co-chairs Michael and Lois Hodes; Charles Borek, president of the Alzheimer's Association, Central Maryland; Micki Pellington and John Barnes, board members; Sharon and Doug Strouse, president of American Legal Reporting Inc.; Janice Dent, training director for VIPS Inc.; Betty Shelton and Gloria Muldrow, co-leaders of the Enon Baptist Church Alzheimer's group; Maybian and Dr. Michael Gloth, chief of geriatrics at Union Memorial Hospital; and Dr. John Breitner, chairman of Johns Hopkins University's department of mental hygiene.

The event raised $50,000 to help fight Alzheimer's disease.
