A lasting tribute to Lois Hogle by Holly Van Houten, Executive Director Last issue, we announced an effort to create a memorial bench to honor our co-founder Lois Crozier-Hogle who passed away in December 2005. The project was initiated by Lois’ family who wanted a lasting tribute to their mother’s legacy of activism and open space protection. Together, Committee for Green Foothills and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) are working to construct and install a memorial bench. Thanks to the support of so many of you who gave to the bench project and made memorial gifts in her honor the project is moving forward.
A knoll within Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve overlooking Silicon Valley will provide a serene location to remember Lois and her legacy while providing hikers a welcome resting point. Located just off the intersection of the Wildcat Loop Trail and the High Meadows Trail, the bench site is close to popular, much used trails within the Preserve. Committee for Green Foothills contacted local bench designer, Peter Garrett who will construct and install the bench along with a memorial plaque later this spring. We are currently working with the family and MROSD to plan an unveiling, tentatively scheduled for Friday morning, May 18th. Look for an invitation in the mail in April. We hope you can join us for this special morning remembering Lois. Published Spring 2007 in Green Footnotes. Page last updated August 10, 2007. |
