Orange County Heritage Coordinating Council

Founded in 1936 by the City of Santa Ana through a bequest from Charles and Ada Bowers, the Bowers Museum is one of California's finest and Orange County's largest museums.

I received the following email of interest on Wednesday, from an HCC colleage:
 
Dear HCC members,
 

An article in posted by the Los Angeles Times today cites a neurologist who believes that Pio Pico, governor of pre-statehood California during the 1830s and 1840s, may have been afflicated by a neurological disorder that distorted his physical features and made him impotent for much of his life.
