Produktbeschreibung
This is a sampler presenting the contents of three colorful volumes that record daily community and political life in the 1.8-square-mile seacoast city of Del Mar, California, just north of San Diego. Del Mar provides a home to 4,300 residents, stunning natural vistas, the most beautiful racetrack and fairgrounds in the country, and a lagoon that is the gateway to the San Dieguito River, extending 70 miles to the east. The stories of the people and the environment, reaching back into history, are told in newspaper columns, lively pictorial pages, and excerpts from the city's major land-use documents. A larger theme of civic engagement and human interaction in a civil society emerges from a chronological and thematic unfolding of profiles of individuals active in the community, celebrations, events, neighborhoods, and issues of land use and public policy.

He is a veteran of World War II and made his career in the printing and book publishing industries. For thirteen years, from 1982 to 1995, Gene filed columns first at the Del Mar Surfcomber and then with the North County Blade Citizen with commentaries on Del Mar people, events and politics, as well as on themes and events in the wider global community as seen from a local perspective. Gene has been a publishing consultant and member and founder of a number of book trade organizations and publishing services. For most of his adult life he enjoyed playing the viola in amateur chamber ensembles. He has a son and daughter, three grandchildren and a large extended family who have helped make it all worthwhile.
