While sitting here at my comic book yard sale, I've been in an email discussion on commemorative plaques with one of the bigwigs of the alumni of Hawthorne High School. I graduated from Hawthorne High School in 1972.
The school is undergoing renovation with old buildings being torn down and new ones put up in phases.
The concern is that Hawthorne High's history will be lost. I suggested a series of plaques erected around the school commemorating historical events and people. The Wilson Brothers and Al Jardine of The Beach Boys attended Hawthorne (a little before my time there). A plaque honoring The Beach Boys was one suggestion made.
I brought up the Godzilla, King of The Monsters! plaque at Frank Del Olmo Elementary School as an example.
As regular readers of this blog know, a Superman plaque is now in the planning stages in Tarzana.
We're going to look into this further.
