Dorothy Chandler

When my wife and I take our out-of-town friends into Los Angeles via the Metrolink for whirlwind walking tours of the Civic Center, they always seem to want to “linger a little longer” when we reach the plaza at the Music Center. And when we leave, after having basked in the sunlight and been cooled by the fountain’s spray, we have never given any thought to whom we might thank for that exhilarating feeling that we take with us . . . until now. Thank you, Dorothy Buffum Chandler (obituary, July 7).
