Dear Readers, issue no. 39

Welcome to the latest issue of our community magazine where we celebrate the vibrant mosaic of life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. As editor of this publication and a fellow resident of this picturesque paradise, I am thrilled to bring you stories that embody our cherished community’s essence.

This edition pays tribute to a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on our hearts and the waves. Louis Graziadio, a successful businessman, and avid surfer found solace and joy in riding the ocean’s swells. We commemorate his life and the passion he shared with so many through beautiful photos of the paddle out in his honor as well as touching memories from those who knew him best, his family and friends. I had the honor of seeing the love that shone so brightly that day as family and friends from near and far rode the waves to celebrate his life and love of the ocean.

Amidst the gentle hills and breathtaking vistas, the Palos Verdes Golf Club has been a cherished institution for generations. We extend a warm welcome to the new General Manager David Stocke and his family. Embracing the essence of our community as well as PVGC, the Stocke family shares a profound love for golf, outdoor activities, and family, and we are thrilled to have them join our fold.

Our magazine is dedicated to showcasing the heart and soul of our community; it is the people, places, and things that make the Peninsula unique. As we delve into these stories, we continue to uncover the deep connections that tie us together – a shared love for the ocean, the beautiful landscape, and most importantly, each other.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our readers for being a part of this incredible journey. Your unwavering support allows us to continue sharing stories and events that truly matter – stories that celebrate the beauty of life on the Peninsula.

Thank you for picking up this issue and joining us as we honor Louis Graziadio’s legacy and welcome the Stocke family to our close-knit community.

Let us cherish the moments, embrace the connections, and continue to make the Palos Verdes Peninsula a most cherished place to call home.

With warmest regards,
