HP Chairman Patricia Dunn accepts a "hall of fame" award Wednesday night in San Francisco from the Bay Area Council, a regional business lobbying and networking group.
Dunn, who is under investigation for the methods HP used to try to uncover media leaks, said that she was aware of the "irony of being inducted into the Bay Area Business Hall of Fame."
David Zenoff, chairman of Larkin Street Youth Services, stands near her.

Dunn speaks
Dunn capped her speech with a joke. She said "it wouldn't hurt if the pope continued to make controversial comments"--which might get her name off the front page.
