Christmas Memories: Beginning and Ending with Redlands and a Side Trip to California’s Past in the Middle!

Larry Burgess, Graduate adjunct professor in history at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Redlands

December 16, 2025 | 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.

Larry Burgess will present an array of experiences, thoughts, and emotions from Californians through the past two hundred years. Some accounts are reflective, others nostalgic. Some humorous, and all of them relatable to the diverse population that is California.
