Pozo Family gather at their bench together for first time.

Apr 29, 2021 | John Shribbs, News, Shollenberger | 2 comments

Jerry and Diane Pozo finally were able to bring their family out to their new bench after all were vaccinated. This is the new style and material of bench that is guaranteed for 50 years. They are birdwatchers and love to view the birds in the mudflat the bench faces. They are wearing “Save Shollenberger” shirts to show support for the fight against Dutra. This was a special day for Jerry, Diane and family. They had not been together for a long time. 

The inscription on the plaque is:

THIS IS MY BENCH.

COME, SIT WITH ME FOR AWHILE AND DREAM.

DIANE AND JERRY POZO

    Wonderful wonderful family gathering at our beloved Shollenberge!
    With spirit like yours we will never give up working together to preserve and protect our park and wetlands from assaults like the Dutra asphalt factory proposal.

    Spread the word to friends, Shollenberger walkers, and new residents of Petaluma – lots of people do not know the story of our community’s work to protect the park, wildlife, and eco system from pollutants and degradation.
