Bruce Van Allen is a former Mayor of Santa Cruz (1982); he originally ran for SC City County as a “socialist-feminist.” Since that time he has dedicated enormous energy for many years into restoring and revitalizing the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz. At a recent program, The San Lorenzo River, Past, Present and Future, Bruce presented a remarkable set of Perspectives on the San Lorenzo River. Van Allen’s ideas, including “The River Runs Through Us,” sum up a realistic, inspirational and perceptive analysis of the importance and impact of the San Lorenzo.
