By Town Crier Staff Report

Longtime Los Altos resident Harry Kallshian, who served two years as mayor, died Aug. 21. Mr. Kallshian was 92.

The outspoken Mr. Kallshian, whose conservative views were long chronicled in his own Town Crier column, “Kallshian’s Korner,” served on the Los Altos City Council for 12 years.

Among his accomplishments with the city, Mr. Kallshian led the drive to erect the large granite markers at the borders of town, welcoming residents to Los Altos. He also was instrumental in establishing a two-term limit for councilmembers.

A memorial service is scheduled for 1 p.m., Sept. 10, at Union Presbyterian Church, 858 University Ave., Los Altos. A more detailed account of Mr. Kallshian’s life is planned for next issue.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
