The back of this photo reads: April 17, 1978, Kianu Whale.  

Dr. Martin Dinnes, head veterinarian at Marine World Africa U.S.A., (foreground) supervises lowering of Kianu into her specially built cradle. From there she was transported via flat-bed truck to San Francisco International Airport for her flight to Japan. 

Does anyone know why they sent Kianu to Japan?

The San Mateo County Historical Museum recently purchased more than 30,000 San Mateo Times newspaper photos that span most of the 20th century and provide a glimpse into San Mateo County life and its generations.

The San Mateo County Historical Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The footprint of the school does not allow for safe drop off and pick up. I have seen a couple of different plans for the drop off line & none of them are adequate for the location. The traffic will surely be a nightmare & I hope we are not moved to this school, as there is not proper access for drop off. Also, not sure why the plans keep changing, maybe because they can not come up with a good plan.
