ABOUT DWAIN CARLO CRUM, LAVA'S 2013 VISIONARY OF THE YEAR:
Dwain is a regular attendee at LAVA events. As a LAVA Visionary, he has
hosted the 2012 Memorial Day tour of Savannah Memorial Cemetery in Rosemead,
an entity for which he serves as Executive Director. Among Dwain's passions
are traveling the country in his motor home The Black Pearl, collecting
matchbook covers and swizzle sticks, organizing social gatherings for fellow
retired academics in the San Gabriel Valley, appearing as an extra in motion
pictures, and reviewing businesses on Yelp -- even though the website,
apparently unable to handle someone with Dwain's passion and energy, has
blocked all 500+ of his reviews from regular viewing. (LAVA also calls upon
Dwain's fans to contact Yelp at http://www.yelp.com/contact asking them to
free Dwain "The Pirate" C's hidden reviews and make them available for
public viewing.)
LAVA co-founder Richard Schave says "Dwain is larger-than-life,
all-embracing, accommodating and gracious, and an exemplar of the spirit of
LAVA. Please join us as we celebrate him on the eve of his departure on a
seven-month round-the-world cruise. We will miss him in Los Angeles, but
know that many new friends will be grateful for his presence out on the high
seas and varied ports o' call."
