[Healeys] Donald M Healey Memorial Redwood Grove

[Bob Spidell]

Can't help with a photo, David, but I think resurrecting the sign is a 
great idea. No one can replace the original buildings and certainly not 
the great trees that may be lost, but a new 'DMH Memorial Grove' sign 
would be a great token of resilience (if not defiance).

There are lots of truly great Healey roads in that area, and I drove 
most of them many times when I lived in the Bay Area. Hope some either 
survived, or can make a comeback (we're currently 'entertaining' my GF's 
step-mom, who had to evacuate their house near Lexington Reservoir).

Bob
