Lifetime Achievement Award: Milford Wayne Donaldson

We recognize the work of Milford Wayne Donaldson for a lifetime of achievement. Wayne, a long-time SOHO member, has been a staunch advocate of historic preservation throughout his career. He has demonstrated his commitment to this cause through the high quality he has shown in all his endeavors. His historic preservation projects have deservedly won many local, state, and national awards. In addition, Wayne has served on the State Historic Resources Commission and the State Historical Building Board where he was instrumental in the creation of the State Historical Building Code. You could always breath a sigh of relief when you heard Wayne was on the project, as you knew it was in the best hands. Wayne will be missed by the members of the preservation community in San Diego. However, we are all extremely pleased to be able to congratulate him on the occasion of his career-capping appointment as State Historic Preservation Officer. We know that through this appointment, he will continue his hard work for a cause that is of great importance to him and to us: preservation of our state’s historic resources.
