Who remembers Mona Lee Harris? She went to high school in Laguna with the first few years graduating classes. Interesting she decided to move to Calexico and bought grandpa’s hotel. I believe that is Mona on the phone in the extra large lobby. I remember the lobby has the same carpet we put in our 1949 home on TOW. And I never noticed till now, could the lobby be a Chris Abel design? Could the large mural in the back of the lobby be a Mogens Abel wood carving?
