Regan Beach rededicated with stone memorial
Submitted by paula on Sun, 10/01/2017 - 7:46pm
They were builders, doctors, lawyers and teachers
Our Dad, he ran the B of A
They were leaders, doers, big picture seers
The biggest picture of all they saw it every day
Mt. Tallac stood vigil
Tahoe lies blue and clear
In meadows the streams ran swift and clean
The way they had for millions of years
They knew they had to protect it
They fought for it those women and men
I'm proud our Dad Tom Regan he was one of them
But there were clear-cutters, dealers, dice-rollers
Passing through try'na turn a quick buck
