Allen Hazard & Janet O'Dea, the co-founders of the first historic district in Mission Hills, are at it again in the name of preserving and honoring history in Mission Hills.  Their latest goal is to have the following text inscribed on a memorial to be placed at the entrance of Pioneer Park, where visitors can reflect for a moment on these hallowed grounds.

Historic Marker (Historic Landmark #5) Proposed Text:

"To the south of the row of eucalyptus trees lies the former CALVARY CEMETERY (1875-1960) – This is the final resting place for between 3,000 to 4,000 San Diego pioneers, including the Arguello, Altamirano, Bandini and Machado families and other important early leaders such as Cave Johnson Couts and Father Antonio Ubach.

While the ravages of time and the march of progress may have taken their toll on even our most sacred, hallowed ground, we shall not forget, at least in passing, the tributes we owe to these early San Diego pioneers and their families."

To help raise funds for this endeavor they are selling Power Walks, a 34 page self-guided walking tours booklet for $10 at Powers Plumbing to raise funds.
