Early Laguna artists like Anna Hills, William Wendt and Edgar Payne painted gorgeous landscapes. Reporter Barbara Diamond, who suddenly passed away last week, "painted" pictures of today's Laguna with her words. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you wanted to know what was happening in town, you had to read Barbara's posts. She clearly understood that a picture was worth a thousand words, maybe more. Write on, Barbara. You will be missed.
