Cultural Heritage Board presents 2014 Weber and Glenn Allen awards to Stockton preservation contributors
Summary
At its Sept. 7 meeting the City of Stockton Cultural Heritage Board presented the 2014 Captain Charles M. Weber Award to Mary Jo Gohlke and the 2014 Glenn Allen Award to Casa Bonita Funeral Home owner Buck Kathausen, recognizing contributions to local historical research and preservation.
The City of Stockton Cultural Heritage Board presented two 2014 awards at its Sept. 7 meeting: the Captain Charles M. Weber Award to Mary Jo Gohlke and the Glenn Allen Award to Casa Bonita Funeral Home.
The Weber Award recognizes authors, organizations or volunteers who have advanced understanding of Stockton’s cultural heritage. The board’s read statement noted the award honors the city’s founder, Captain Charles M. Weber, and recognizes work that enhances understanding of Stockton’s past and demonstrates exemplary community commitment. Mary Jo Gohlke, the 2014 recipient, has written two books on Stockton history, including works on the Philomathean Club and notable Stockton women. “Thank you so much. … It means a great deal to me,” Gohlke said after receiving the award.
The Glenn Allen Award recognizes individuals or projects that have completed rehabilitation or preservation work that enhances Stockton’s historic character. The board voted in May 2014 to present the Glenn Allen Award to Casa Bonita Funeral Home; owner Buck Kathausen accepted the award in person and credited multiple people, including Pat Craig’s family and staff who helped preserve the building. “But it isn't only me. It's a couple of these people here…they really contributed to this,” Kathausen said.
The board did not take any separate formal action related to the awards beyond presentation. The awards were noted as part of the meeting’s recognition and informational items.
