‘Just Dessert’
- Share via
Re “Preservation Group Wants Just Dessert,” Aug. 15: The story stated that the inscription on the historic 1880s Pasadena building read “ ‘My people are the people of the desert,’ said T.E. Lawrence, as he picked up his fork.” Before the earthquake tore off the first line of the quote, it actually read “ ‘My people are the people of the dessert,’ said T.E. Lawrence, picking up his fork.” Please note that it was spelled “dessert” rather then “desert” in the phrase. Thus, the play on words.
