Celebrating 30 Years Volcan Mountain Foundation
“In Defense Of The Book”
Volcan Mountain Foundation gathering at Pinto Ranch all photos by Jeff Holt The Volcan Mountain Foundation celebrated 30 years of preservation and education on Saturday at the home of Michael and Meili Pinto. The program included the debut of “The Volcan Mountain Suite for Clarinet and Piano” - an original composition by master pianist/composer/educator Nicolas Reveles. The performance and composition where funded by a grant from the Marjorie and Joseph Rubenson Endowment for Art and Science and commissioned by the VMF. With the weather being a little nasty, the concert was a welcome istraction for the afternoon.
Nicolas Reveles and Peter Dayeh Pianist, composer and educator Nicolas Reveles has had a fortyyear relationship with San Diego Opera as a lecturer, accompanist, coach and most recently as Director of Education and Community Engagement, a position he retired from in 2017. He has also been the host of UCSD-TV's OperaTalk! and continues to produce, write and host the San Diego Opera Podcast. Dr. Reveles has composed three operas, Sleeping Beauty and Rumpelstiltskin for the San Diego Opera Ensemble, and Sextet for Diversionary Theatre. San Diego clarinetist Peter Dayeh enjoys a varied career as teacher, coach, clinician and performer. Peter is a member of the San Diego branch of the Music Teachers Association of California. As a performer, he is a frequent recitalist across San Diego and Riverside counties and can often be seen playing clarinet and Eb clarinet with the San Diego Symphony, California Chamber Orchestra, and the Santa Cruz Symphony.
The Julian Library and San Diego Oasis are excited to announce that award winning author and historian Mark Carlson will be joining us for an Author Talk on Saturday, October 20 at 10 AM. He will be here to discuss his award winning short story, In Defense of the Book, which won the Tom Howard/John H. Reid Short Story Contest in 2011. Mark Carlson is a freelance writer, aviation historian, docent and researcher at the SD Air & Space Museum. He has written a number of books and short Mark Carlson stories, including Flying on Film – A Century of Aviation in the Movies 1912 – 2012 and Confessions of a Guide Dog - the Blonde Leading the Blind. Although Mr. Carlson is blind, he makes extensive use of advanced computer software to work and write. He travels and works with his second guide dog, Saffron, a female Yellow Labrador retriever. Never one to take it slow, he is always working on his next book and several other projects. In Defense of the Book is a profound, award-winning essay on the risky electronic path humanity has chosen, its limitations and its consequences for the future. San Diego Oasis describes Mr. Carlson’s presentation; “Since ancient times, humans have felt the need to communicate, to collect, record and distribute the knowledge of their cultures and experience. From the earliest clay tablets more than 5,000 years ago, to the scrolls of papyrus and bound books we found ways to preserve our legacy for the future. They are all readable even today. With the ever-faster advance of technology the knowledge preserved is increasing. But the storage life of that same information grows shorter with each generation. And much of it is already lost forever.” San Diego Oasis is a non-profit educational organization that is active in 40 cities and reaches more than 50,000 individuals each year. Their mission is to promote healthy aging through lifelong learning, active lifestyles, and volunteer engagement. We are proud to be partnering with them to bring these kinds of educational programs to the Julian Community. We are looking forward to seeing you here on Saturday, October 20 at 10 AM for an exciting Author Talk with Mark Carlson and Saffron.

The 62nd annual Melodrama opened to a wonderful and very interactive audience of mostly locals, many of whom had participated in the Melodrama at some time in the past 40 or so years. This year’s play, Lady Sophie’s Secret, was written by Patsy and Wally Macfarlane, and first performed in 1960. It’s directed by Garnette Welsh who has been invaluable to keeping the Melodrama going since Bobbi Green’s death. Betty Zerbe who was president of the Triangle Club in 1962-64 was in the audience. In 2016, celebrating our 60th Melodrama, we performed The Stalwart Surveyor, written by Patsy and Wally Macfarlane. Two of Patsy and Wally’s four children, Docia and Michael, in town for their Julian High School reunion, were in the audience. Although a little different than they remembered, they recognized some of the best lines which were still funny after all those years. Stacy Hodo, the director, explained to them that she had been working from a partial script. Michael said he would try to find the original script for her.

on a melodrama with local talent that she would write, direct, and act in. Thus The Dasterdly Deeds of Rodney Murgatroyd was created. The critical and financial success of this play in 1953 – with its outstanding local players – resulted in Patsy writing a couple more new plays, The Stalwart Surveyor and Lady Sophie’s Secret. Over the years other authors contributed plays when the spirit or ambition moved them. Iola Barbee wrote many. These new and the three original plays that Patsy wrote with Wally’s help have been recycled and performed almost every
