Community, family members come together to celebrate Patricia A Schaelchlin Day in La Jolla lajollalight.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from lajollalight.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The free event will be Friday, July 7, at the La Jolla/Riford Library, where Schaelchlin's collection of books and research materials provides much of the material for the History Room.
On Oct. 29, 1964, an article in the
Light announcing the merger quoted a joint statement from the two papers’ publishers: “By combining forces . we will be able to present a more comprehensive coverage of the La Jolla community. … The plan of this merger is to give La Jolla a bigger and better newspaper it is as simple as that!”
The merged paper was published as the
La Jolla Light-Journal until the mid-1970s, when “Journal” was dropped and the publication continued as the
La Jolla Light, which it does to this day.
