Join us on Sunday, December 1st, when PAHA and other local groups will honor late PAHA Board member Bo Crane who died recently after battling ocular melanoma for six years. Robert L. Crane, known to everyone as "Bo", grew up in Palo Alto, graduating from Paly in 1968 and Stanford in 1972.
A lifelong Palo Altan, Bo played an active role in numerous community groups including several local history associations. His passion for local history resulted in many contributions to PAHA, PAST Heritage, and the Menlo Park Historical Association. He researched and wrote stories and essays on numerous topics, led walking tours of historic neighborhoods, and presented many fascinating programs. With his particular love of local sports, his series of articles titled Sidelines: Palo Alto Sports History focused on the many local athletes who achieved recognition in the sports world.
