George Lucas Museum
I grew up in South Chicago next to South Works and now live in Woodacre. Woodacre is minutes from George's home in San Anselmo. Over the years, George has made many contributions to San Anselmo and Marin County. He build a park in San Anselmo, buried power lines, landscaped empty lots with Redwood trees and native plants all at his expense. His offices at Skywalker Ranch along Lucas Valley Road in San Rafael are spectacular. He wanted to do more but was turned down by local groups. Words that describe George and his work/contributions are generosity, class and craftsmanship. George's decision is a lost for the Bay Area and a huge gain for Chicago. I am sad that the Bay Area will not see a spectacular dynamic museum but am happy that my home town is the winner. Based on what George has done for the Bay Area, I know Chicago will be proud of the new museum when completed.
