Record sale raises money for Belasco memorial fund
Beach Reporter column reports at least $585 and matching commitment from Jack Belasco; final receipts were still pending.

One for the books
The used book sale held by the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library (FOL) last weekend was a huge success, according to Charlotte Malone.
Malone, who aside from being intimately involved in the FOL is the City Clerk of Hermosa Beach, said the sale was "the very biggest we've ever had."
She said $585 was raised by the sale, and when all contributions have been received, that figure could go well over $600.
The final amount will be matched by a check from former Hermosa Beach Mayor Jack Belasco, and deposited into the Evelyn Belasco Perpetual Memorial Fund, land earmarked for library student scholarships.
Goodbye John, goodbye to an era
It is an unusual deviation for "Reviewing Hermosa" to report on events which transpire outside the community of Hermosa Beach.
But the tremendously saddening and untimely passing of former Beatle John Lennon last Monday could hardly go without mention.
It is extremely unlikely that during his travels John Lennon ever set foot in Hermosa Beach. Still, in a way, he was part of all that has grown here. The effect the Beatles had in the development of our culture and upbringings is almost unmeasurable.
It goes without saying that all the things of youth ultimately fade, and cultural heroes will always slip into oblivion confronted with the onslaught of the future. But a senseless tragedy such as Lennon's shooting death brings the fact painfully to light.
