Hundreds of leading citizens along with government officials joined the Anti-Defamation League in honoring the Carter and Chase families with the 2009 Greater Hartford Torch of Liberty Award in West Hartford. The event raised more than $340,000 to support ADL’s effort to fight hate, build hope and safeguard Liberty. Gerald Gelles, Gary Greenberg, Glen Greenberg, Mimi Greenberg, Alan Lazowski, Lawrence D. McHugh and James Sandler served as event co-chairs. Pictured, from left, are: David Chase, Rhoda Chase, Sandra C. Holley and David G. Carter.
