On February 10, 2010, the city of Lancaster demolished the wonderful mural of State Senator Pete Knight, one of our premier flight test pilots.
Why don't we bulldoze Historic Downtown Lancaster and be done with it? Why stop with one mural? After all none of it fits the Barcelona, Spain image the city is proposing.
Why am I so angry? The shortsightedness of the planning. State Senator Pete Knight's mural can not be replaced by a "portrait." He owns the title of "fastest man."
According to Antelope Valley Press editor, Vern Lawson, we are Aerospace Valley. No where in the world has so much been accomplished in space and flight. Pete Knight was a leader in space. As a community we deserve to have another mural painted of him on a prominent building.
