roland pitschel, Oakland facilities supervisor for the last 27 years, passed away on August 1, 2009. He was CCA’s unofficial archivist and historian, with an amazing memory for anything related to the facilities and grounds. His extensive botanical and arboreal knowledge is evident all over the Oakland campus, and his dependability, ingenuity, artistry, and wry sense of humor will be missed.
