The Los Angeles City Historical Society held its Annual Holiday Gala at the historic Wilshire Boulevard Temple on December 10, 2013. The Temple reminds me of my own and only trip to Istanbul and visiting the Haga Sofia and other great churches and temples of Byzantium. Massive and mysterious, the interior is opulent with black marble, inlaid gold, rich mosaics, rare woods and exquisite murals depicting the history of the Hebrews (by Hugo Ballin). The annual dinner honored groups and individuals who have contributed to the preservation of Los Angeles' history.
Recipients included "LA as Subject", honored with the J. Thomas Owen History Memorial Award; Raphe Sonenshein, Honorary Life Member Award; Darnel Hunt and Ana-Christina Ramon (pictured here with Society President Todd Gaydowski and Los Angeles City Council Member Tom LaBonge), Miriam Mathews Ethnic History Award and Glen Creason, the David G. Cameron Preservation Award.

The Los Angeles City Historical Society held their annual holiday gala at the historic First Congregational Church of Los Angeles on December 10, 2010. Journalist Suzanne Muchnic, reminiscing on her 31 years covering the arts beat for the Los Angeles Times. Honors were bestowed upon Playboy Publisher Hugh Heffner, Christy McAvoy, Co-Founder of Hollywood Heritage, and Authors Kevin Roderick and J. Eric Lynxweiler.
Heffner was cited for his timely contribution of $900,000 that helped save the “Hollywood Sign” earlier this year. Los Angeles Councilman Tom LaBonge praised Heffner, thanking him for helping “preserve the ‘naked’ mountain”. Christy McAvoy was recognized for her efforts in safeguarding the history of Hollywood, and for her preservation work as Principal of the Historic Resources Group. LA Observed Editor Kevin Roderick and L.A. Historian J. Eric Lynxweiler were honored for their recent work, “Wilshire Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles.”
A host of Los Angeles “movers and shakers” attended the event; perhaps no one was more enthusiastically-received than Author- Historian Catherine Mulholland. Raising a symbolic glass of water, LaBonge led a toast to Mulholland and her grandfather, William Mulholland, the engineer and former head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power who designed the California Aqueduct.
