- Besides being an nitro-fueled librarian for the young adult set, Heather Firchow is a dynamite cook. She whipped up Sunday brunch for the Art Bender weekend at McGinty's Gallery at the End of the World, and earned $161 in tips to support the Teen Summer Reading Program at the Altadena Library. Go, Heather!
- Always interesting to read the real estate news: From Blockshopper comes news that actor Carel Hubert Struycken and Tracey Lee Norton purchased a home on Woodglen Lane. Struycken is seven feet tall, and may be best remembered as "Lurch" from the Addams Family movies, altho' some of us oldsters remember him as the Giant from "Twin Peaks."
