Who Were Those People? Find out on Wednesday, July 8

A newspaper editor I once worked with told me there was a story behind every place-name in San Diego County. And my research has borne that out.

Ever wonder who the Felicita was behind Felicita Park? Or the Warner behind Warner Springs? Those are just two of many examples.

 Join your History Seeker as I reveal the people behind the place-names for my talk, “Who Were Those People?” on Wednesday, July 8 at 10 a.m. at Oasis Rancho Bernardo Lifelong Learning Center. Click on the link below to sign up:
