Record of Laguna Beach sports historian begins after 1993 fire
Nathan Percy staff writes on how a Laguna Beach Middle School fire in October 1993 destroyed 15 years of football history from 1978 to 1993. The loss affected Laguna Beach High's athletic records and complicated assembling a program for the Breakers, then the Artists, for their upcoming 60th anniversary. Frank Aronoff emerges as the volunteer athletic historian amid the missing archives.
