BLANCHE TRASK:
American Bald Eagle
The picture also shows Eagle Rock as a barely visible rocky pinnacle at the lower right-center portion of the photograph.by
It is my hope that the web pages educate us about the inter-relationships
of "all eight islands" to mainland southern California (mainland is "OVERTOWN" as Catalina's Avalonians will tell you). I think that Blanche Trask
tried to teach us about the "eight islands" and wild nature, and she was
an "Islander" of 100 years ago.
