Blue Star Memorial Marker Dedication

Merrilee Ray, Margaret Merrow, and Linda Latimer

Panamint Springs Regent Pat Richard was invited to attend the dedication of the Blue Star Memorial Marker on May 27, 2013, sponsored by the Oasis Garden Club of Indian Wells Valley, Ridgecrest, California.  The Blue Star Memorial Marker honors service men and women, was placed in the Bakersfield National Cemetery on E. Bear Mountain Blvd., Arvin, California.  Three members of the Oasis Garden Club are also members of Panamint Springs Chapter.  Merrilee Ray, Margaret Merrow and Linda Latimer worked with other garden club members to bring the Blue Star Memorial Marker to the National Cemetery.  In 1947 California adopted the Blue Star Highway program dedicating Hwy 40 and Hwy 99.
