James R. Watterson -- Patron of the Arts, Civic Volunteer, & Friend of the Museum -- will join the elite group of men and women who have been honored by Pasadena Museum of History as "Contemporary History Makers" since the award was inaugurated in 2000. 

“This will be an especially notable event us as we honor one of the shining stars in our cultural community,” notes PMH Executive Director Jeannette O’Malley.  “We look forward to bestowing this award on Jim for his notable involvement with local organizations, for which he is so well known.”  A Contemporary History Maker is defined as an individual whose civic passion, innovative design, or charitable interests continue to shape Pasadena's unique and rich heritage.
