It’s a thousand things, big and small.

Update from Katy Butler: “The Mesa Refuge renovation is complete! Thanks so much to Marin Magazine for the beautiful feature. It was a great help and boost!

The reopening was on a beautiful sunny day with a big crowd from West and East Marin. Now the garden is renovated and blooming with lush native plants courtesy of, in part, a member of the Native Plant Society (who read the Marin Magazine piece and donated plants). An accessible bathroom has been added, the showers replaced and a major (more than $1 million) remediation and rebuild has been completed without destroying the beauty of what was once Sam Francis’ painting studio.”

“What a wonderful surprise when I arrived home yesterday — the June edition of Marin Magazine with Mark Wilson’s article on page 38!

Everything about it is great — the writing content and style, the graphics (great job by Anna Ivanir) and the use of our images. I believe it will really motivate readers to go take a tour of these historic buildings. And, they’ll have the historical background, which will make the experience richer.

I appreciated the opportunity to work with Mark on this special part of San Rafael. As a native born and raised in San Rafael, I spent many hours on Fourth Street and have watched it change over the decades, so it was definitely a walk down memory lane for me.

Lastly, we greatly appreciate the credit and acknowledgement for the Marin History Museum.” — Lane Dooling, marketing, social media and administrative coordinator, Marin History Museum

Correction: In our June issue on page 24, the image of Perry’s should be Perry’s Novato location.
