Dove (IT ’69) was honored as Citizen of the Year
for 2006 in the Los Osos Community. Dove was instrumental,
with his Rotary club, in purchasing and installing an electronic
marquee at the intersection of South Bay Boulevard and Los Osos
Valley Road to help publicize community events and reduce litter
(by eliminating homemade signs that were previously taped all
over fences in town). Dove is the owner of Dove Lighting Systems
in San Luis Obispo, designing, building, and selling theatre
lighting controls all over north and south America.
