"Saratoga Symphony is playing a free concert on Jan. 17 at the West Valley Presbyterian Church in Cupertino. The symphony is led by music director Jason Klein. The program for "Psychology Tonight" features "Valse Chevaleresque" and Symphony No. 4 by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius and Piano Concerto No. 2 by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. Tamami Honma is the guest pianist."
"The foundation will host Bruce C. Cumming and Nicholas Veronico, co-authors of "Lost Gas Stations of San Mateo County." They will be speaking about the multifaceted uses of service stations from 1911 to the present. In the past, these gas stations doubled as grocery stores and provided S & H green stamps and full auto service, like washing windows and checking motor oil and tire pressure."
"Cumming and Veronico spent two years researching and collecting information and photographs for their book, which will be available for purchase at the event. Cumming had a 42-year career in California law enforcement, previously serving as police chief of Menlo Park and Morgan Hill. Cumming is an automotive enthusiast who owns several vintage cars and collects petroleum memorabilia. Veronico has written or contributed to over 45 books on art history, aviation, the military and transportation."
