2/4/2011 California Report

By Friday afternoon, February 4, we were in Portland, OR and the Bear Flag Centennial over so we thought. We had just sat down at a tea shop, when my cell phone rang and I answered. It was a producer for "The California Report" and the host wanted to interview me about the Centennial and would call back.

Rachael Myrow called back and interviewed me for about five minutes, maybe a little longer. Later in the day we were able to listen to the Friday magazine of the California Report, which ended its 30 minutes with a salute to the Centennial of the State Flag and a quote from me, Bill Trinkle. It was both fun and exciting and I think brought us some more attention. An exciting week!

Our State Flag Centennial

On February 3, 2011, I drove with my daughter, Katee to the California State Capitol. We took into the Capitol a 3' x 5' standard version California Flag and a package of our small 4" x 6" Centennial Bear Flags. We took photographs inside the Capitol in its Rotunda, in front of the Bear outside the Governor's office, and in front of the official painting of Governor Hiram Johnson. We then traveled outside and took photographs of the flag in front of the west and north sides of the Capitol.

The Bear Flag Museum has in its collection a Bear Flag displayed at the California Capitol on the Centennial of the adoption of that flag in the very same building in 1911.

HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE FLAG

Copy of Senate Bill signed

Governor Hiram Johnson

During the evening of February 3, 1911, California Governor Hiram Johnson signed into law, effective immediately, the bill making the Bear Flag the official flag of the State of California. That makes today the 100th Anniversary, the Centennial of that event. Fly you Bear Flag proudly.
