HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE CANNERY ROW FOUNDATION
#1. George Walker, Attorney.
We owe the existence of the non-profit Cannery Row Foundation
to its pro-bono (no charge) incorporation in the fall of 1982 by Monterey attorney
George Walker. The legal grunt work was performed by one of his
young attorneys, Robert Rosenthal. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude
to them both for the articles of incorporation accepted and promulgated by
the State of California on February 17th, 1983.
