Winter Sale... Sportsmanship influenced how he lived his life. Fair and honorable (his son Kevin said he never made a joke at someone else’s expense), he supported causes important to him and paid tribute to those who helped him along the way. He memorialized his beloved aunt and uncle with the Lee and Rose Warner Coliseum at the Minnesota State Fair and the Warner Palestra sports center at St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN (where he also funded the Donald McNeely Spectrum, the campus field house), and helped establish the Rose Warner Writing Center and the soon-to-be Rose Warner Science Lab at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. He was dedicated to environmental education which resulted over forty years ago in the creation of The Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center, which partners with the Science Museum of Minnesota. He raised five children with his wife and great love, Marjorie, and founded in her name the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park, the Marjorie McNeely Up to Gallery at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and the Marjorie McNeely Fund for the 75% off Blind or Illiterate in Monterey County, CA. A savvy entrepreneur and a innovative thinker, he joined his father’s business - Additional Items The St. Paul Terminal Warehouse Company - after the war and turned it into a Marked Down national company called Space Center, Inc. He was co-founder of Control Data Corporation and his past directorships include Buckbee-Mears; Conwed Daily Corporation; North Star Research & Development Institute; North Star Steel; Northwest Airlines; Wells Fargo (Norwest Bank); and Red Owl Stores. To give young men and women the skills to succeed in business, he established the Donald McNeely Center for Entrepreneurship at St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN. From his cherished home on Manitou Island in White Bear Lake, MN, Don reached out into the community and beyond to help guide religious, civic, arts, and educational organizations like the Catholic Charities, Como Friends, Guthrie Theater, The McNeely Foundation , YMCA, and Yale University where he founded scholarships. He was a generous man, not only with his resources and his time, but also with his heart. Wary of inherited wealth he had optimum respect for those who generat- ed their own good fortune and success. He encouraged his children in their passions believing that he himself “did not work a day in his life” as he remained active in business until his passing day. His daughter Nora wrote of her father last year that his rich and meaningful life had exuded character that was “deep, genuine, compli- cated, and beautiful.” Those who knew him found him to be a true gentlemen and an original and are fortunate souls indeed.

REGGIE CAMPBELL, 5, a standard white poo- dle with aristocratic bearing, was visiting Carmel from Santa Barbara this week when we approached him on the Scenic walking path above the beach. Here on business with his Mom Brenda Johnston-Campbell, they stayed at the Cypress Inn, where he found many of his brethren to converse with. Reggie, his Mom and Dad David, a men’s bas- ketball coach at U.C. Santa Barbara, all enjoy the great outdoors. Reggie is taken on walks twice daily along Santa Barbara’s Shoreline Drive, where everyone knows his name. They visit The Biltmore Hotel often, and one day bumped into Oprah. The television star was taken with Reggie and made a fuss over him, but he didn’t let that chance encounter go to his head. A certified therapy dog, Reggie loves people and has brightened the day for many patients at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara with his winning smile. We certainly enjoyed Reggie standing on our foot and leaning against us in a friendly and endearing manner while interviewing him. Way back, when Reggie was a roly-poly pup and lived on the Monterey Peninsula, he was so excited on his first visit to Carmel Beach, he lost his footing in the sand and rolled all the way down a sand dune to the beach proper. Although he chewed up several of Mom’s shoes when he was little, Reggie is now very well behaved and a great companion. Mom Brenda handled all his training, which she said was easy because poodles are so smart, and she even grooms him every other week, utilizing skills honed in past years at her former image consultant salon in Monterey.

Reappoint Potter

DURING HIS 12-year tenure on the California Coastal Commission, Supervisor Dave Potter has been a superb representative of Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, and we urge Assembly Speaker Karen Bass to appoint Potter to another term. The first thing for Bass to keep in mind is the unique importance of the coast- line in this part of the state. Unlike Southern California, where Bass lives, the stretch of coast from Big Sur to Santa Cruz is mostly undeveloped, and contains scenic and other natural resources unsurpassed anywhere in the world. Potter’s long history on the coastal commission, together with his service as a Monterey County supervisor, give him a special appreciation for these precious qualities and their importance to the people of the Central Coast and the entire state. But Bass should also be assured by the fact that Potter is by no means an envi- ronmental zealot. His voting record on the commission demonstrates that, while he places a very strong emphasis on preserving the natural environment, he also values important human goals, such as encouraging responsible economic development, providing affordable visitor access to the coast, protecting vibrant and historic residential communities, and respecting basic property rights. For example, Monterey County residents remember very well the proposal several years ago by the coastal commission’s doctrinaire staff that new devel- opment along the Big Sur coast be sited so as not to disrupt the view of the coast from boats. The ridiculous proposal was greeted with the well deserved outrage of resi- dents of Big Sur, who saw it as yet another step toward the destruction of the area as a viable residential community. Needless to say, they were reassured when Potter helped stop the viewshed-from-boats plan in its tracks, saying it “didn’t even pass the laugh test.” “I hear they run it just like a town. They have a mayor and everything.” Perhaps Bass is wondering: Just how much do the people of Monterey County value Potter’s public service? His supervisorial district includes most of possible consolidation of the Carmel and the county’s spectacular scenery, and he was reelected in 2008 with 74 percent Monterey fire departments interesting. of the vote. Letters Consolidation of services can be a good thing and should be looked into by cities and The issues the coastal commission deals with are vast and complex. It is not to the Editor special districts on a regular basis, not just an agency where newcomers can do a lot of good. Now more than ever, Potter’s when times are tough. A few of the many questions to be asked experience is needed, and he should get another term.
