George Manet

Along with Miss Applegate and Miss Goldman who introduced me to Baldwin Mountain and the Nutcracker in grade school, I was fortunate to have so many teachers who furthered my appreciation of the arts and laid the basis for my career as an executive in television and film. My legacy expands children’s minds through free tickets to cultural events and provides fellowships in perpetuity to artists, musicians, and painters to further their education so they can enrich the cultural life of our great city.

The California Community Foundation partnered with StoryCorps to record the stories of our Centennial Legacy Society members. StoryCorps is a national nonprofit whose mission is to provide all people with the chance to record, preserve, and share the stories of our lives.
