History Alive: RCP Block & Brick

Age Limit: 18+
Cost: Free
The Lemon Grove Historical Society kicks off the 40th Season of its "History Alive" lecture series with Michael R. Finch, president and CEO of RCP Block & Brick ("Revolutionized Concrete Products"), relating the inside story of this hometown business launched in 1947 with $400 by his father, Marvin Finch, then 20, who recognized that California's booming, post war population needed housing and commercial buildings. Four employees, a truck, and a manual operation grew over 70 years into a company with 250-plus employees. But it's still a family owned and operated deal. Info: 619-460-4353.
