Lu and Maynard Lyndon are the founders and former owners of Placewares, a highly popular specialty store and gallery in Gualala where they greeted all who entered as welcome guests.
Crossing Bridges is about bringing people together on both sides of the Gualala River, from the Sea Ranch in Sonoma County to Gualala and places North along the Mendocino County Coast. It will feature locals who will talk about their history, what they bring to the community, and how we all depend upon each other. Some shows might feature guests from both sides of the bridge with similar interests or backgrounds because we all have so much in common. It's all about Crossing Bridges, learning more about each other, and coming together as a larger, yet close-knit, Northern California coastal community.
The Host is Sea Rancher and Sea Ranch Archives Committee Member Paul Mundy. Co-Host is KGUA Producer, Programmer, Voiceover Talent & Documentary Producer Leigh Anne Lindsey, a member of the Sea Ranch Communications Committee.
