Mayor Pete Wilson and Bea Evenson (1900-1981) at the dedication of the plaque at the Bea Evenson Fountain in Balboa Park. In 1967, as a civic volunteer, she formed 'The Committee of 100' to raise money and provide civic leadership to restore Balboa Park, starting with the esplanade, Casa Del Prado and ultimately aiming for all the buildings on the Prado. The committee's accomplishments include the complete restoration of the Organ Pavilion in 1984.
