Mr. Don Garate, Chief of Interpretation at Tumacácori National Historical
Park, Arizona, passed away last night, after learning only this past July
that he had a cancerous brain tumor. His funeral will be held in Reno,
Nevada, but the arrangements as yet are not set. He will be buried in
Ravendale, California, where he grew up.
The Environmental Education Exchange has put together a video about Don's
unique way of interpreting history for the public, in which he assumed the
character of Juan Bautista de Anza at countless events over the past 20
years. Don also played a key role as a narrator and on screen for a video
documentary of the Anza Trail that will be released in the summer of 2011.
A "rough cut" of the video that has been prepared with available footage
and media can be viewed at
