Despite the self-congratulatory coverage of Healdsburg's classic downtown Plaza and our Small Town status, there are many more reasons to like this town. It's because we live here, after all, and have high school sports heroes, local theater, and much more to celebrate.
Healdsburg High School is holding their eighth induction ceremony for its Athletic Hall of Fame, Saturday night at St. John’s. The menu looked so good – roasted pork loin, garlic mashed potatoes, etc. – that we were devastated to find out that the dinner was sold out (but not surprised).
But you are welcome to come at 8:00 p.m. when they honor this year’s seven inductees. They are: Leroy Danhausen (Class of ’47), Johnnie Walker (’61) Chari Redeker Perce (’79), Todd Trask (’87), Aaron Bugarske (’92), Myriah Volk (’93), and an honorary induction for Harry Tappin.

All will be in attendance at the induction, except for Leroy Danhausen who recently passed away. A PFD with their accomplishments can be found with this article. More about the Healdsburg High Hall of Fame online.
On Sunday, the Healdsburg Senior Writing Project will hold their first community reading of 2013, 2:0 p.m. at the Healdsburg Senior Center. Their book, Tuesday Morning Memories, will be available to purchase at the event. Refreshments will be served, and donations toward the publication of their second book will be appreciated.
