From Alcatraz to Hesperia

Here’s a portion of a letter we just received at the Star:

It was with great excitement that I read your article on the school district move, forwarded to me by Goggle. My name is Nicki Phelps, and I am the Director of Visitor Programs for the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in San Francisco. We run all fee based programs on Alcatraz Island.
 
Currently, we are in the midst of refurnishing the Alcatraz Cellhouse. When I read that some of the school district furniture is came from Alcatraz, I felt compelled to write. Would it be possible for you to forward this email to the school district, especially Ms. Baker? At the very least, I would sincerely appreciate seeing the furniture by photo or in person.

I hadn’t even thought about this aspect of the story, really. Very cool for all those Alcatraz history buffs out there.
