It's possible to create a Report that will do what you ask, but you will
quickly run out of space on your output device if you really want it all
on one line.

Much easier would be to put the personal information into one grouping
level of the Report, and put the event information into a lower grouping
level. Or, you could put the personal stuff into the Detail Section and
include a subreport linked to that person to contain the person's event
information.
