Wounded Heroes of America

Aug. 08, 2025

Join us in welcoming Mike Talleda, President of Wounded Heroes of America

We make sure our heroes know they aren’t alone and they aren’t forgotten. Conceived in October 2001 to originally help the families of 9/11 victims, our mission grew into an organization dedicated to aiding the veterans of the wars that followed. Founded in 2004 in Hawthorne, California, Wounded Heroes of America reaches veteran families in the Southern California communities and in 16 other locations in the United States. Our job is connecting wounded (OIF) Iraq and (OEF) Afghanistan veterans with the resources they need to re-enter and adjust to civilian life. We focus on the proven commitment and functional abilities honed in their service. We rely on community support to fulfill our mission.

Lynn Doran

Photography

Aug. 15, 2025

Lynn Doran, a native Californian, began her life of adventure and creativity in the 1950s, traveling with her parents whose curiosity led them deep into Mexico, pulling a travel-trailer.

Leaving college with a degree in Fine Arts, Lynn immediately started her own company, “Natty,” designing and manufacturing women’s specialized ski accessories, as well as more youthfully contemporary tennis and golf attire. Success allowed Lynn to leave the world of business and start traveling the world, photographically documenting, selectively collecting artifacts and turning her lifelong-interest into a major motivating factor in her life.Travel serves Lynn as a stimulant and her creative themes express themselves through ceramic sculpture, printmaking and photography.

Nov. 21, 2025

Longtime PVE resident and photographer John Harbison takes you on a fascinating and informative trip down memory lane with clips from films and TV shows that were shot in Palos Verdes over the last century. In these movies, PV has “pretended" to be many locations around the world, such as Japan, Scotland, Arabia, Egypt, England, Hawaii, San Francisco and the Caribbean. John has had a successful business career as a management consultant, entrepreneur and early-stage investor (with five of his investments earning between 256x and 1478x). One of his companies introduced the world’s first side blindspot detection radar for cars, and that company grew from $0 to $700 million in revenue in eight years. As a photographer, he travels extensively to remote locations and specializes in wildlife and landscape photography; locally, he’s won the grand prize in the Palos Verdes Photography contest twice.
