Start prepping your hiking boots! On Wednesday the House of Representatives passed HR 5194, the “Mt. Andrea Lawrence Designation Act of 2010″ sponsored by local Representative Howard P. “Buck” McKeon. The measure names a beautiful, previously unnamed nearby peak (see image below) in honor of Mono Lake legend
Andrea Mead Lawrence. Senate action is still pending, but we’re excited to
see such a meaningful and appropriate tribute moving forward.
Named in recognition of the many outstanding lifetime achievements of Andrea Mead Lawrence
