“After hearing the story of the Mountain Mermaid
I immediately renewed my membership to the Los Angeles Conservancy
and made a donation! Anyone interested in preservation
of historical structures will love the fascinating back story on the
restoration process. It's probably the most dramatic story
I've yet heard about the rescue of a historical building by one person.”

“How does one express in words what one experiences most deeply?
Sunday morning, February 8, dawned bright and crisp.
The rising sun brushed Topanga’s mountains with a patina of gold,
the breeze whispered its secrets, and a red-tailed hawk rode the thermals
flaunting the brightest red I’ve ever seen in the wild.
How can one be any happier?
The heart would burst with joy with one more beautiful experience.
That afternoon, the Da Camera Society brought the Moscow String Quartet to
the Mountain Mermaid and continued the morning’s transcendental joy”.
