Thank you to Everyone Who Participated in Save the Peak

I want to send a big thank you to many, many people who helped us save Cahuenga Peak as a permanent natural landmark of Los Angeles. The participation of residents, community groups, neighborhood councils, Hollywood stars, Hollywood studios and institutions in this effort made it a success. I want to thank the children who sold lemonade to Save the Peak, the residents of all 50 states who sent contributions, the neighborhood groups who organized the Rally for the Peak and the Hollywood folks who allowed the Governor to convince them that this was an important cause. Hugh Hefner deserves special thanks for coming to the rescue of the Hollywood sign when it needed it most, in 1978, and then contributing to Save the Peak as well. I also appreciate Chris Baumgart of the Hollywood Sign Trust for his ongoing commitment to the neighborhood of Hollywood, part of which is in my district. I especially want to thank the Trust for Public Land, whose staff worked untold hours to make this effort a success. No matter where you are on the globe, you are Angels in the City of Angels.
