More than 50 Operation Freedoms Paws supporters and friends of Gilroy's own Mary Cortani were glued to four television screens upstairs at Station 55 Bar & Grill Sunday night to watch CNN's “Top 10 Heroes Tribute Show,” where the winner of CNN's 2012 “Hero of the Year” would be revealed during the finale of a live broadcast streamed from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Gilroy dog trainer Mary Cortani was surrounded by good company – both human and canine – when she learned of some marvelous news Thursday morning while having breakfast at Station 55 restaurant in downtown Gilroy.
