Called the "Beau of the Ball," former Congressman Mark Foley has re-emerged in Palm Beach society at a charity gala, his transgressions with former teenage pages and sexually explicit messages apparently forgotten and forgiven.
"Believe me. People were thrilled to see him," said socialite Dorothy Sullivan, who co-chaired the Palm Beach Fashion Week charity gala last month at the famed Mar-a-Lago Club, where Foley was photographed surrounded by women. "He was glad he came," she told ABC News.com.
"It feels good. People have been wonderful to me," Foley told the Palm Beach Post, which dubbed him the "Beau of the Ball." "Thank God that I worked hard for these people. I think they recognize I did so much for the community, and I'm thankful for that."
The former Republican lawmaker has also been spotted at some of Palm Beach's posh restaurants and has been working out at a local gym.
