Local history news from the O.C. Register

A few items of historical interest, culled from recent issues of the Orange County Register:
  • The City of Irvine celebrated it's 35th Anniversary last Friday, Dec. 8th.
    -
  • Lake Forest is celebrating their 15th Anniversary with an essay contest.
    -
  • This weekend's article on famed hot rod artist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth noted his connections to O.C., including his years working at Knott's and Movieland's Cars of the Stars Museum. However, the article missed a related twist of history. Five points if you can name the O.C. elected offical whose first job was working with Roth at the Cars of the Stars Museum.
