Historic Sites and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

Catalina Island

Twenty-six miles across the sea, as the song goes. (One of the singers of this famous song became a TV producer and I had the pleasure of working on two of his shows in the late 70s)

I've been to Catalina Island four times, most recently in June of 2002.
