Tonight I attended the final normal meeting of the
Santa Lucia Rockhounds this year. Next month will be a Christmas Dinner and new officer installation meeting at the
Culinary Academy here in
Paso Robles, CA. I was tasked with providing a speaker for tonight's meeting and I was honored to have my history mentor Dennis Judd give his famous and popular
Hearst Castle/
San Simeon presentation. He gave this presentation to this club several years ago, but I missed it. Consequently, I was overjoyed to finally see it, although much of this I had seen presented in his
History of California class at
Cuesta College which class I took in 2011 (and in it earned an A). Tonight I operated Dennis' Powerpoint presentation and during which I snapped this image of his
Julia Morgan panel. Afterwards, I indulged in a sanity-saving bread-breaking with Judd and Ron, both friends with whom I have coffee every week. Oh, and yes, Dennis did bring his famous blue-green jade cobble from the
Big Sur Coast to show off once again. Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
