SUMMARY:Talk by Palos Verdes history authority\, Dana Graham
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Palos Verdes history authority\, Dana Graham\nAugust 19\, 1pm \n\nThe presentation discusses events and developments on Palos Verdes Peninsula from 1911 until 1973\, covering the often turbulent and tenuous development of the Peninsula\, including little known facts and explains how certain things became as they are today — how many of the streets got paved\, why streets are blocked from going into the Riviera\, the one-time prison in PV\, etc. Dana Graham knew some of the founding fathers personally as a kid in the ’50s and ‘60s. For example\, Fred Roessler was one of his father’s tennis partners. This talk covers the development of the Peninsula from a first-hand perspective\, and includes stories told Dana by his parents. Don’t miss this personal take on the history of Palos Verdes. \nBio: Born in 1947 at 3405 Via Palomino (literally in the house)\, Dana grew up in PV\, and went to the PV schools. His parents were very involved in the community. His father was an artist by profession and a member the School Board through the ’60s and ’70s and was one of the first presidents of the South Coast Botanic Garden.  His mother ran the Peninsula Music Fair\, Art for Fun(d)s Sake\, and the Yule Parlor Parade homes tour for many years. He graduated from Rolling Hills High in 1966 and UCLA in 1970 majoring in military history and music\, was on the track team\, and sang with the Roger Wagner Chorale. Following active duty in the Marine Corps\, Dana went into the stereo business starting at Mr B for Music in the Peninsula Center. From there he took a job at Bose Corp in Framingham\, Mass\, and then with James B Lansing Sound (JBL) where\, in the early 1980s\, he was Vice President of US Sales. He resigned his position at JBL and went into real estate on the Hill and has continued since. Hobbies are singing Renaissance music\, building 5′ long model warships from scratch where the guns fire and they go at scale speed\, and giving lectures on military Palos Verdes history\, and the Myths and Realities of Real Estate
