once made, that “to admire an authorand then meet the author, is like havinga fondness for goose liver and thenseeing the goose!" Not J0 with HSSC

autbm—to meet them is only todeepen your appreciation for boththe person and the publication.

Take Doyce Nunis, for example. I-Iehas completed 30 years as editor of theSouthern Calif/izrrzia Quarterly with suchan energetic commitment to scholar-ship that he has made the Quarterly oneof the top regional journals of history.

Or take Gloria Lothrop, whose Guideto Hirtoriml Outing: in Southern Californiacombines a rich sense ofthe past witha vivid sense of place. It is an outgrowthof her enthusiastic involvement in localhistory.

Or takeJoe O'Flaherty, whose two-volume history of Los Angeles and theSouth Coast is soon to be published. Itis a richly-woven tapestry of satisfyingwholeness—a reflection ofhis aware-

ness ofthe power of history in his life.I want you to meet Doyce, Gloria

andJoe—and other authors mentionedon this page. So HSSC will hold a

number of receptions in 1992 and1993 to remind us that the experienceofhistory is something to be sharedand treasured!
