Sonny And Barer

 I debated whether to use that corny headline.  We just came back from spending the Memorial Day Holiday weekend in the Palm Springs area.  Mayor Sonny Bono, famous as part of the 1960s and 1970s singing duo, Sonny And Cher, is immortalized with a statue in the center of town.  

The concourse of the Palm Springs Airport is also named after Bono. 

Late Winter Trip To Palm Springs

We have just returned from a three day trip to Palm Springs.  Our friends are somewhat irritated because this area is still amerced in one of the worst winters in memory.   Even Palm Springs itself suffered from uncharacteristic storms, but the weather was nice for our trip.
Above is the bust of Sonny Bono, who was the husband in the pop duo, Sonny And Cher, until they divorce in the mid 1970s.  The beautiful concourse of the Palm Springs Airport is named after him.  Bono went on be mayor of Palm Springs and eventually would serve in Congress.
