Arepo Queen I — and her consort

Dr. David Werner and his wife, Arepo Queen I Judith Werner, pause to pose Thursday behind one of the beautifully set tables at the Krewe of Arepo Ball.

Judith laughingly recalled that the first year at the University Club, organizers hadn’t planned to crown a king nor a queen. However, at the last minute they decided to find a queen. "I was dressed like what they thought a queen should look like, so they asked me to do it!" recalled Judith.
