Each of us who were there on that eventful day November 11, 1989 will forever remember the excitement, the exhilaration of the roaring crowd and the beauty of the moment we heard the founder of the Laguna Canyon Conservancy (LCC), Councilwoman Lida Lenny say, “Boy am I glad you are here!” The Walk from the Festival of Arts grounds to “The Tell” at Sycamore Flats where Mayor Bob Gentry led a crowd honoring Veterans being recognized and acknowledged for their contributions to preserving and saving America in WW II.
