BOX 3571 SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92103 (714)222-3148 National Preservation Week May I I._17 It's National Preservation Week again an annual time set aside to recognize outstanding preservation efforts, and to make more Americans and San Diegans! aware of the preservation movement and its contributions to the quality of life in every community. The theme of National Preservation Week, 1980 is "Preservation: Reusing America's Energy': and this year is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. The message is three-fold: 1) old buildings are a past investment of energy; 2) old buildings can be renovated for greater energy efficiency in their operation, and 3) new technology like solar power, for example, can be used in manv old buildings without destroying their historical and architectural cl--~racteristics. Look downtown this week at the Knights of Pythias Building at 3rd and E, which has housed the Community Arts complex, as a good example of adaptive reuse. Look at the Lyceum and Hor­ ton Hotels -- all freshly painted, and beautifully too. Gaslarnp is blooming, albeit too slowly for some, into a showy flower. All around us we see examples of positive preservation-- both public and private. Paul Thoryk's Soledad Franco Restaurant in the newly renovated Columbia Square is a showplace. Ted Krauss' offices at Front and Fir, an early-on example of preservation in action. Parker Industry's on-going rehabilitation in the spectacular Long­ Waterman House at First & Kalmia, and of course, the lovely new bed and breakfast remodel ­ ling of the Britt House at Fourth & Maple.

  • 16 Event in More Ways Than One. Is Anyone Here Who's Ever Attended
    16 event in more ways than one. Is anyone here who's ever attended an indoor groundbreaking? (Laughter) And after what journalist have been enduring for the last six weeks. It seems unusual, too, that we should be gathered to honor one of their number. (Laughter) From Baghdad all the way back to (unclear) and Washington, the profession has been kicked around in recent times as seldom before. That could be part because there aren't enough of them like the guy we are talking about this morning. I can see by the age level here that quite a few of you are old enough to remember this man. And I thought outside of Ruth, I'd be the one here who had known him longer than anyone else, but I have to yield to an ex-Hollywood High and UCLA fellow student of Harold Keen's, Mr. Berger, in the front row, who's intimate friendship with Harold's goes back to the 1920's, very obviously. Harold will be remembered principally for his days on television, which he entered in its infancy, not because he was much like what you see in the television news today. I doubt very much and I am sure Ruth would validate this, I just can't believe that Harold ever submitted to a blow dry hair job. (Laughter) His on air manner was not exactly in accord with much of today's happy news. Harold didn't think it too important to be kidded about if he had a flat tire on his way to work that day as they kicked it over from the weather to sports and back to the commentary.
