COUNCIL REPORTS - None ADJOURNMENT Mayor Thorne read the following statement: "Now we would like to observe the recent passing on August 31st of Orville Nightingale, a Pleasanton resident of Ridge View Commons who would have celebrated his 110th birthday next month. Mr. Nightingale lived an action packed life that included picking apples and playing cards with Harry Truman, dancing with Ginger Rogers before she became a star, and working on the Alaskan pipeline. Mr. Nightingale was also very active in the Pleasanton community and served as a block captain and was one of the original twenty DeMolay members in our city. We send our condolences to his friends and family on the loss of Mr. Nightingale. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:36 p.m. The Council extended a tribute to our nation's men and women serving in the military. We wish to honor the memories of those who have died in past wars in defense of our country, including those who have died in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
