An amazing story about a beautiful park built in the sand dunes by a crew led by Patrick Quigley. Of course he should be memorialized. Renaming Stow Lake is a great start. Angus Macfarlane is a true historian.
Great read, succinctly explained. Quigley Lake may seem odd at first, but for someone who dedicated over half his life to a thing that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people enjoy today, that sits well with me.
This is a wonderful project! As a fourth generation San Franciscan, I too could get use to calling it Quigley Lake. If Blue Heron Lake is chosen over Quigley for the reasons given (animals and birds are perhaps less controversial) then Patrick Quigley MUST have a memorial plaque or something equally noticeable ("Quigley Hill"?) at the current "Stow" lake. Cudos to Angus MacFarlane!

Thanks so much.

Thank you -- I appreciate your support. I remember when they changed Army St. to Caesar Chavez; we all got used to it quickly, right?
Exactly.
