Today’s post is a collection of items from recent weeks that I’m finally getting around to..
Today's first photo shows the Helena Modjeska brand on display in the Old O.C. Courthouse Museum’s new exhibit. The second shot (inset) shows the new Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society (SAHPS) gift shop at the Howe-Waffle House. This gift shop was formerly the library of the Orange County Historical Society. SAHPS president Alison Young stands at left.

On Tuesday night, the San Juan Capistrano City Council will vote on whether the Mission must remove their new party patio, which was built without permits atop an early cemetery.

Well known Santa Ana attorney Clarence Arthur Nisson died Aug. 13th. He was a charter member of both the Tustin Area Historical Society and the Orange County Pioneer Council. I remember speaking with him several times at O.C. Bar Association events and meetings of the Old Courthouse Museum Society. His obituary is posted online.
