STORM WATCH

Kudo and Credits

GRF Sound Technician Jesse Gonzalez stayed very late Saturday night to cover and protect the Amphitheater speakers from tropical storm Hilary. He waited until the Korean Night event concluded and then covered the hanging speakers, as well as moved the lower speakers off the ground to prevent water damage.

He was one of dozens of GRF staff who went above and beyond the call of duty during last weekend’s storm. Many in Security and Service Maintenance volunteered to work all night during the storm to check sewer pumps, haul sandbags, tarp roofs and clear mud and debris from streets. “It was a challenge but there were no major mishaps,” said Service Maintenance Director Ruben Gonzalez.
