On Saturday at the Little League field in the confines of Culver City’s Bill Botts Field, a Celebration of Life will be held, honoring recently deceased Rick Hudson. Mr. Hudson passed away unexpectedly last Saturday while at his family ranch in New Mexico. The salutation to Mr. Hudson starts at 6:30, followed directly by refreshments and further remembrances in the Garden Room at the Vets Auditorium, corner of Culver Boulevard and Overland Avenue.

Regarding attendance at the fireworks show, our original estimate, 12,000, has not changed since Monday. We don't sell tickets.

Regarding Culver Crest and their issue with next Friday’s fireworks show at West Los Angeles College, below please see my email to Ron Ostrin, President of the Culver Crest Neighbors Assn. Ron, It was great speaking with you on Monday, and I hope that we are able to adequately address all of the concerns voiced in your email. As you know, West Los Angeles College is part of the Los Angeles Community College District and under the jurisdictional protection of the County of Los Angeles. All permits are reviewed for this event by these two agencies.
