           SUBJECT  :    Ranger Patricia M. Scully Memorial Highway

           SOURCE  :     Author


          DIGEST  :    This resolution names the portion of State 
          Highway Route (SR) 1 between SR 84 and Verde Road/Lobitos 
          Creek Road in San Mateo County as the "Ranger Patricia M.

           ANALYSIS  :    

           Background on Ranger Patricia M. Scully  .  Born in 
          Sacramento and raised on a ranch in Rio Linda, Patricia 
          Scully graduated from Rio Linda High School in 1969 and 
          from California State University, Sacramento in 1974.  She 
          served as a ranger in the California Parks and Recreation 
          Service, later renamed the Department of Parks and 
          Recreation, from 1974 until her death in the line of duty 
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               SCR 102

          in 1976.  Stationed at Pescadero State Park, Ranger Scully 
          was patrolling the state beaches on Half Moon Bay on May 6, 
          1976 when a drunk driver's vehicle hit her patrol vehicle 
          head-on.  Patricia M. Scully was survived by her parents, 
          four sisters, one brother, and her fianc�e, a fellow park 
          ranger.  She was 25 years old when she died.  After her 
          death, her friends and family set up a memorial fund with 
          the National Audubon Society that each year sends people 
          working in environmentally related fields to Audubon 
          training workshops.

          This resolution designates the portion of SR 1 from San 
          Gregorio Road/SR 84 to Verde Road/Lobitos Creek Road in San 
          Mateo County as the Ranger Patricia M. Scully Memorial 
          Highway.  This resolution further requests that the 
          Department of Transportation erect appropriate signs upon 
          receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the 
          costs.
