Altadena’s hardware maven Don Thomas and his sister Shirley Harrington were honored in an ambush appreciation at Altadena Hardware this morning. Despite word going out widely about it, they were surprised …
Adam Carter of Assemblyman Anthony Portantino’s office, presents Thomas with a proclamation from the state assembly.
Followed by a presentation from Rita Hadjimanoukian of Supv. Michael Antonovich’s office, with a proclamation from the county.
Followed by Doug Colliflower of the Altadena Chamber of Commerce.
Don and Shirley’s last day is Oct. 31 — stop in and say goodbye!

Oh, I’m so sad. Don knows everything about our old houses and how to fix them. It’s been a personal pleasure to stop in there and say hello. I moved here 13 years ago yesterday and Altadena Hardware was nearly the first place I visited.
