Panelists are scheduled to share a variety of perspectives and anecdotes about the character and vision of Lucile Packard during a forum 7-9 p.m. today at Los Altos High School’s Eagle Theater, 201 Almond Ave.

“Lucile Salter Packard, Woman of Grace” is one of six programs supplementing the Los Altos History Museum’s ongoing exhibition, “Lucile and David Packard: Valued Partners,” running through June 22.

The event will feature discussion focusing particularly on Lucile’s efforts leading to the groundbreaking of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) at Stanford. The panel, moderated by LPCH volunteer Linda Meier, includes: Dr. Harvey Cohen, chief of staff at LPCH; Lucile’s daughter, Susan Packard Orr; Charles Anderson, former chairman of LPCH; John Ford, former vice president of development, Stanford University; Cole Wilbur, former president of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation; and Frank Roberts, Packard family attorney.

The next program is a family day, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the museum. The event will feature LPCH and Children’s Health Council representatives engaging children in games and activities. Admission is free.

An April 9 program at the Eagle Theater follows, titled “The HP Phenomenon.” Chuck House, a retired Hewlett-Packard executive, leads a panel of former HP standouts examining the company’s legacy. The event is scheduled 7-9 p.m.

Cost for “Lucile Salter Packard, Woman of Grace” is $10 per person. Reservations are required.

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.
