Pasadena Museum of History Honors Local Historian Sid Gally as Trustee Emeritus

Pasadena Museum of History will honor local historian and popular newspaper columnist Sid Gally at a luncheon and program at The University Club of Pasadena on Tuesday, December 2, at 12:00 Noon. In gratitude for his unfailing contributions to the promotion of the Museum’s collections, former Trustee Sid Gally will be installed as a Trustee Emeritus — an honor the Museum has bestowed only once before, on Robert W. Winter, Ph.D. in 2008. Pasadena Star-News Public Editor Larry Wilson will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the festive event.

After thirty years of dedicated volunteerism, Gally’s research continues to uncover the fascinating history and tantalizing anecdotes of past Pasadena residents, visitors, businesses, and organizations. He has shared the Museum’s rich photographic collection in the Pasadena Star-News for thirteen years and continues to enthrall his readers with untold stories in his weekly column “Past on Parade.”

Tickets at $30; the luncheon is open to the public. Tickets may be purchased online at http://sidgallylunch.brownpapertickets.com/.

The University Club is located at 175 N. Oakland Ave., Pasadena. For further information, please visit the PMH website at www.pasadenahistory.org or call (626) 577-1660.
