Roger and Robin Himowitz opened the doors of their charming Provencal-style Montecito estate to host a sunset soirée honoring former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich before he spoke at UCSB’s Campbell Hall, part of the popular Arts & Lectures program.

Reich, 77, who studied at Dartmouth College, Yale Law School, and won a Rhodes Scholarship at University College Oxford is currently a Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley.

As well as working in the Clinton administration, he also worked for presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama.

A best-selling author, award-winning documentarian, and respected commentator, Reich examines the rising inequities of income, wealth, and political power in his many tomes.

Among those at the boffo bash were Celesta Billeci, Gary Bradhering and Sheraton Kalouria, Elisabeth Fowler, Wayne Rosing and Dorothy Largay, Bob and Siri Marshall, and Geof and Laura Wyatt.
