History of Highland Park…

Well if you’ve been in Highland park for any length of time you’ve probably heard of Lummis Day.  You may have heard of the Lummis House.  You may have a vague association of Lummis to the Southwest Museum.  If you’re library oriented (and this one’s a bit of a long shot) you may know that Lummis was City Librarian for a while.  But who exactly was Lummis?  Check out this 7/20/72 article from the Highland Park News Herald & Journal (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/11/520744.pdf) for a nice in-depth look at the man.
