History Society Selects 2 for Triunfo Honor

The Conejo Valley Historical Society has named John Crossan and Daryl Reynolds as its 1996 Don and Dona Triunfo, the honorary title awarded to men and women who have dedicated many years of outstanding service to the community.

The titles will be conferred during the historical society’s annual Fiesta del Triunfo on Saturday at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.

The 21-year-old Fiesta del Triunfo raises funds to support activities at the Stagecoach Inn Museum in Newbury Park, including tours and reenactments of early life in Ventura County for schoolchildren.

The museum at 51 S. Ventu Park Road houses a number of historical artifacts, including an authentic 19th-century California “Mud Wagon,” and a collection of Chumash relics.

This year’s fiesta will feature a silent auction beginning at 5 p.m. and an 8 p.m. showing of the musical “Guys and Dolls” in the Charles E. Probst Center.

Crossan, president of NBS Financial Services and a certified financial planner and registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is a long-standing member of the Thousand Oaks Rotary Club and has received numerous awards from community-oriented organizations in the Conejo Valley.

He is also a member of Cal Lutheran University’s president’s advisory council.

Reynolds has served the Conejo Valley community for more than 24 years.

She is chairwoman of the Thousand Oaks Traffic Commission, as well as a board member of the Ventura County Planning Commission, the Juvenile Justice Commission, the Cultural Heritage Board, the County Traffic and Transportation Advisory Committee and the Ventura County Museum of History and Art.

She was also PTA president of Meadows Elementary School and Westlake High School and was a board member of the Ventura County PTA.

Tickets for the 1996 Fiesta del Triunfo are $70.
