RETURN TO FENDER: How much does Fullerton...

RETURN TO FENDER: How much does Fullerton love its native son, the late Leo Fender? The Fullerton Museum Center has broken its daily attendance record with its current exhibit on the pioneer electric guitar designer, which runs through April 2. . . . The museum is drawing 100-plus visitors for the first time, to see “Five Decades of Fender: The Sound Heard Around the World.” It includes footage of such celebrated Fender-designed guitar players as Jimi Hendrix and Bonnie Raitt.

YOUNG DRUM ROLL: There’s a statewide summit on education next month, and state Sen. Marian Bergeson (R-Newport Beach) plans to be ready. She’s scheduled her own “mini-summit” on the topic for Feb. 4. “The drums are beating and the legislators better respond,” Bergeson says. “Anyone who says the status quo is great is really missing the mark.” . . . Appropriately enough, the mini-summit will be held at Laguna Niguel’s Marian Bergeson Elementary School.

DIALING TIGER: Three-time U.S. Golf Assn. Junior champ Tiger Woods, a senior at Western High School in Anaheim, receives the prestigious Dial Award Jan. 15 in Washington. It goes to the nation’s top high school scholar-athlete. Pro football star Herschel Walker and former USC basketball great Cheryl Miller are among previous winners. . . . Says his father, Earl Woods: “I don’t think he will understand what an achievement it is until he gets to the black-tie dinner and sees who is there.”

NON-GRUMPY ACT: Yes, that’s Garden Grove minister Robert H. Schuller and his “Hour of Power” that Jack Lemmon is watching in the new movie, “Grumpy Old Men.” Says Schuller spokesman Michael Nason: “It’s the first time we’ve ever allowed a clip from our show to be used in a movie, and we’ve had lots of requests.” . . . . Schuller had given approval to Whoopi Goldberg’s “Sister Act II” to film its rousing finale at the Crystal Cathedral, but the movie producers had to change their plans.
