Bruce T. Hinman
Sometimes while I'm driving I notice (as I'm sure others do) the different
parks, interchanges and highways named after people. During last summer, when
I always carried a small notepad to jot notes onto, I wrote down these two
lines:
- (134) Bruce T. Hinman Memorial Interchange
- Frank G. Borelli Regional Park (57) San Dimas
I finally got around to organizing some of my notes and came across these
again, so I decided to finally google them to see who these important people
were. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on Frank G. Borelli. As for
Bruce T. Hinman, I found this
website. I find it interesting how many different people have made such an
impact to have something dedicated to their memory, and yet how little
information is found about them. Or maybe it's just not searchable on the
Internet yet. At any rate, it reminded me of Carmen III.30 by Horace
(Exigi monumentum aere perennius...). As my classmate said, "Horace
is so cocky, but I gotta give it to the guy: he accomplished what he said he
did." How many people do we remember who poured their time and energy into
others in comparison to those who poured their time and energy into
themselves?
