Action Magazine's "Northeast Ohic Lambda Awards 1982" were held at Club Exedra on July 29th. This year's event drew a highly enthusiastic crowd of over 300 people. The guest list read like the Who's-Who of Gay Northeast Ohio. Sadly, David Barczak, who was to em-cee the nights festivities, was called away to Cleveland Clinic just as the program was to begin because his father was critically ill.
