About Chris Duddy
Life often can be cruel, especially when you least expect it. My son, Spencer, is getting married this weekend in Carmel Valley. He and his bride, Chelsea, have everything to look forward to over the next 30, 40, or 50 years together.
Spencer also attended Thurston Middle School when Chris Duddy was the assistant principal. Tragically, Chris passed away this week, one month prioir to retiring. He was only 57.
It always is a shock when someone you know suddenly dies, especially when that someone is part of the fabric of the community as Chris certainly was. Laguna has lost a good soul. RIP Chris. You will be missed.

Are $7 a gallon gas prices coming to Laguna?
Get ready friends. At the rate gas prices are increasing, I predict we will be paying $7 a gallon for gas in town before the 4th of July.
And if what happened in Venice over Memorial Weekend happens in Laguna, shop owners are going to be very unhappy.
That's because tourists paid $6 a gallon to drive to Venice for a day at the beach, but didn't pay for much else (like ice cream, sun hats, postcards or t-shirts).
As an aside, I recently drove to my son's wedding in Carmel Valley. On the way, I stopped for gas in King City. Regular was $6.89, Plus was $6.99 and Supreme was $7.09.
So, get ready, Laguna. I'm guessing these same prices are coming to town soon.
