The Huntington Beach official website states that the town was originally developed by one Henry Huntington, the same railroad magnate who built the Huntington estate in San Marino and founded the library with his great collections.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-45451488663495842342008-12-07T21:36:00.000-08:002008-12-07T21:36:00.000-08:00Yeah, the 10 freeway!

Yes, I think this is just the thing you'd like - it engages the intellect as well as the soul.<BR/><BR/>Sure, C.O. The docents always get free rare books. In fact I'm thinking of volunteering just so I can get me a Shakespeare first folio. And since you mention it, there's a tiny casket in this exhibit with an ivory cadaver in it. I'm hoping to have it as a party favor.<BR/><BR/>Elaine, if/when you visit, it's the first place we'll go.<BR/><BR/>Karin, I don't want to know how you know that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Bernie. I wasn't sure what it was because I didn't have the foresight to take notes. Some lessons need to be learned more than once.<BR/><BR/>Katie, you're the only person I've ever met who thinks of Pasadena as a vacation destination. Yet 100 years ago, it was THE place to go.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to AH for clearing up Lindsey's question. (AH is studying to be a docent in the gardens!) <BR/><BR/>You bring up a good point Lindsey: I did ask the curator for permission, and it was fine with him as long as I didn't use a flash. It's always good to check, though. Some museums have signs posted, and in my experience most prohibit flash photography if they allow photos at all.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-20904865064428216182008-12-07T18:07:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:07:00.000-08:00No bubbles burst in the making of this post.
