Join us as we visit with Vince Lugo, direct linear descent of Don Antonio Maria Lugo, whose 19th century Spanish Land Grant helped define Southern California. Vince will talk about his family and his father’s pride and joy, San Gabriel’s beloved—and recently landmarked—Monster Park.
We’ll also talk with Darrell Kunitomi of the Los Angeles Times about the Chandler family’s legacy and how it is manifested and continues to evolve at the newspaper’s headquarters at 1st & Spring.
