As the year 2010 slips into the arms of Morphius, it is a great time to continue thanking the women and men who have done so much to advance The Museum Community this year. And, no one has worked harder to bring about a great Museum of culture and history for the San Fernando Valley than Burbank's Gary Fredburg. Just a short review of the postings on this blog will reveal how many very special artifacts Gary has donated over the years since we began our work. So, here's a little photograph from Porky Johnson's historical collection to honor Gary.

Gary Fredburg sent this internet site to explain his solution to this puzzle.

As a Burbank resident, that's really a treat to see! Any idea which corner of HW & Magnolia that is? I'm wondering if that's the current location of the Portos Bakery?
