We jump into this issue with dual goals: explore fun and fall. For fun, we gathered a list of things to do to celebrate the last gasp of summer, and we offer a preview of our own L.A. County Fair in Pomona, as well as Hollywood style and dining. For fall, we profile some folks we admire: the educators in our schools. If you want to find examples of diligence and dedication, seek out those people who are working to engage students and bring them into an adulthood of opportunity. We also spent time at Klatch Coffee, a family company that engages farmers and is working to share knowledge of roasting, tasting and cupping the fabulous brew. And we tell the story of a Riverside climber who carried the ashes of a friend to Mount Everest.
