December’s Child: Beachhead turns 35 next month
Next month will be the 35th anniversary of the
founding of the Free Venice Beachhead! You hold in your hands the 269th edition
of this community endeavor.
The December issue, in addition to covering
the current happenings in Venice, will take a look back over those 35 years.
We’d like you to be part of this
retrospective.
Please write down
something that you’ve experienced in Venice, anything from two sentences
to 800 words will do. Mail or email it to us by Nov. 20. See the masthead for
our addresses.
In addition, can you
answer any of these questions?
*
Who’s the oldest person in Venice?
*
Who’s lived here the longest?
* Were
you born in Venice (not in a Santa Monica
hospital)?
* Who’s the most significant
person in Venice history (excluding Abbot Kinney), and
why?
* What was it like in Venice in the
1930s? 40s? 50s? 60? (if you were here)
*
When was the Golden Age of Venice?
*
What’s the best form of government for
Venice?
* Who is your favorite Venice poet?
Venice singer? Venice painter? Venice
plumber?
* What’s your favorite book
about Venice (or set in Venice)? Why?
* And
most importantly, how has the Beachhead influenced your
life?
P.S. Please consider taking out
an advertisement or becoming a Beachhead Sustainer ($100/yr - payments
accepted), so that we can print more pages.
