For over 25 years Don Garate has played the role of Juan Bautista de Anza for the National Park Service, Tumacacori National Historic Park. He has embodied the legacy of Anza for us all to enjoy today. Presented here is a five minute tribute to Don excerpted from an in-production video on Anza, "Legacy of a Journey" being prepared for the Park Service for distribution in the summer of 2011
Your portrayal of Anza at the founding ceremonies was most entertaining and informative. I looked forwarded to seeing you each year at the celebration in the presidio of San Francisco. You will be remembered and missed.
