Part of the entertainment for the evening was watching these hummingbirds feeding on the Derisi Balcony.


San Diego Sculptors, whom most San Diego residents don’t recognize, created one of the best known and most striking sculptures in the city. Take a close look sometime at the fine granite statue in front of the San Diego County Office Building facing the harbor on the Embarcadero. The plaque at the base of the statue reads: This fountain presented to the peopole of San Diego in honor of Helen M Towle by the Fine Arts Society in collaboration with the Federal Art Project of the Works and Progress Administration. June 10, 1939. Donal Hord Sculptor.
The Works Progress Administration was part of that other great stimulus program, the one developed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration that helped us rise out of the Great Depression.
