Who WAS that masked doctor? (It's a Lone Ranger reference) Dr. Wilma Wooten yesterday was awarded the MLK Human Dignity Award by the YWCA for her work as the County Public Health Officer during the pandemic. Good for her.

I've put one at the end of this post if you're interested.
Who knew? You can now access archived columns from two members of the Class of '62 at one location. Ernie Cowan's Outdoors column and my own This Month in PB History column are both available on the PB Monthly web site. Click HERE and take a look.
Did you know the Ritter sisters -- Uta and Helga? Helga was a classmate of mine at Crawford. Their mom Renate put together a nice book before she died, detailing how the family came to America from Germany after WWII as part of Project Paper Clip -- the American effort to get Werner Von Braun and his rocket scientists out of Germany before the Russians glommed on to them. If you're interested in my copy of the book let me know, and I'll try to figure out a way to get it to you.

The January 12, 1961 Pacer -- from 60 years ago -- has a nice cover article on Ray Wagner and his newly-published book American Combat Planes. Ray was my US History teacher at Crawford. In later years I saw him a lot when he was the librarian at the San Diego Aerospace Museum. Click HERE to peruse the Pacer.
