post cards and images of the San
Bernardino Mountains, which he
reproduces and sells, raising funds
for the ROW Historical Society and
Mountain History Museum, where
he is both a volunteer, and a docent at
the museum. Russ is also known for
the 15-years of historical columns
he wrote for the Mountain News.
He researched and wrote over 7000
original newspaper columns, educating
the community of historical
events, people and places in the San
Bernardino Mountains. He will soon
publish those columns into books,
with the first one on Crestline.
Russ coordinated grant funding
from Supervisor Paul Biane,
which financed the restoration of the
Club San Moritz, welcoming “Switzerland
Monuments” on Lake Drive,
with Jim Huff and Mike Rose, and
the stone pillar street signs in the A,
B, C streets of Club San Moritz property.
His face is very familiar as he
is also seen maintaining the garden
next to the Switzerland Monuments
on his daily walks through town and
around the lake, as he picks up trash.
“I was totally shocked to
have been considered but feel honored
and privileged for being chosen
this year’s Grand Marshal for the
Jamboree Days Parade in a community
I love. I never plan to leave
Crestline, because I love the four
seasons and people up here.”
He will again be presenting
his popular talks; “Crestline
Rick Dinon at the Lake Gregory Dam
Dedication this last April with his
county recognition plaques for the
volunteer work he did on getting the
dam retrofitted. Photo by Louise Cecil
the Swingingest Town in America”
on Thursday August 15 at the San
Moritz Lodge, and “Murders with a
Crestline Connection” on September
12.
Voted as “Citizen of the
Year” is Lake Gregory Improvement
Committee chairman and Crest Forest
Municipal Advisory Commissioner
Rick Dinon. Rick has lived
in Crestline since he retired 19 years
ago. He said, “It is such a beautiful
community, the least I could do was
help the community prosper and become
even better.”
Rick was appointed eight
years ago to the Lake Gregory Improvement
Committee, along with
others who needed to figure out how
to get Lake Gregory Regional Park
into the black financially and figure
out how to solve the deficiencies
with the 75-year-old dam and get
it repaired. The dedication of the
completed Dam Buttress Project last
April was a great day for the community
and Rick was shocked to see
his name inscribed on the dedication
plaque on the buttress.
“It took eight years to complete
the dam repair, but I am happy
at the accomplishment, especially
since there was an 80% chance we’d
be forced to completely drain the
lake. I’m glad we were able to get
it done this way, and thrilled that the
winter weather filled the lake for this
summer,” he added.
Fifteen years ago, Rick was
one of the founders of the Lake
Gregory Yacht Club and is a Past
Commodore of it, and proud it has
been honored as ‘Associate Club of
the Year’ for the past five years. He
is currently the Commodore for all
90-yacht clubs in the Southern California
Yachting Association.
Locally, Rick also belongs to
the Rim of the World Historical Society,
Crestline Community Development
Association, The Friends of
the Library and has headed Crestline
Connect for the past several years.
He has recently applied for the position
on the San Bernardino County
Assessors Appeal Board. When he
heard, he’d been selected as “Citizen
of the Year” Rick said, “This is truly
a wonderful honor, and I feel humbled
by it. Thank you.”
Each man was selected for
their dedication to Crestline and the
many positive things they have accomplished
in making the town a
better place through their volunteer
efforts. Both honored gentlemen
will be riding in 2019 Jamboree
Days Parade on Saturday July 6, so
be sure to wave and say ‘hi’ to them.
