Dinner with a ‘Hart’

Al Hart, the longtime “voice” of KCBS radio, is the honorary chairman of the Charlie Wedemeyer Celebration of Hope Dinner. Set for May 10 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, the dinner honors six Bay Area high school athletes who will receive $30,000 worth of scholarships from the Charlie Wedemeyer Family Outreach for overcoming adversities. CWFO is a nonprofit organization aimed at fighting ALS. Hart, who hosted KCBS’ morning news from 1966-2000, retired last year to spend time with his wife, who was diagnosed with ALS. Several sports celebrities are expected to attend the event, including 49ers great Ronnie Lott and Sharks favorite Tony Granato. For more information, logon to www.cwfo.org.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
