Who is Carolyn Grubb, and why is she getting honored??? Could not get info on Google.
Carolyn Grubb essentially ran Valhalla for years, though never had the appropriate title. She retired last year.
LTN staff
Did Carol Spain and Leo Bustaglia (sp?) get a plaque honoring them for their hard work establishing the Tahoe Tallac Site and Vahalla Historical Site? For sure Carol and Leo are the ones who saved, served and promoted that site. Maybe they were honored by a plaque — were they????
