-- In a few weeks, Kimberley Chambers of San Francisco, 36-year-old member of the Dolphin and South End clubs, will attempt to do the 35-kilometer Ireland's North Channel swim, the last remaining challenge in the Ocean Seven series. John Turner and Eric Christensen are making a documentary about "TV organist" Korla Pandit, who lived in Sausalito, had a live program on KGO in 1956 and played around the Bay Area. Cindy Testa McCullagh was working with Walter Shorenstein just after Bill Clinton was elected president, and they invited Williams - along with Gavin Newsom and Billy Getty - to the White House for a red carpet private tour and chance to meet the president. The day's activities included lunch at the White House Mess, the ultimate insider experience in D.C. The Mess is a "quite formal" dining experience, says McCullagh, with uniformed military personnel serving as the wait staff. P.S.: A fundraiser for Friends of the S.F.
