LittleRickyII Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Great news, but this hall of fame has been in existence since 2006. Looking at some of the names on the complete list of inductees, this honor seems a bit overdue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Hall_of_Fame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Very pleasing news to hear! I'm in agreement about this being an overdue honor. Carol was inducted in 2009? No offense to Carol, but shouldn't the teacher go before the pupil? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that Carol had two things going for her that led to her being included before Lucy: (1) she is still alive and could attend the ceremony and (2) she was actually raised in California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
