Fire at Krotona
Krotona welcomed the month of July with its own fireworks when a car that crashed through a fence on Highway 33 caught fire. The flames quickly spread across Krotona’s lower meadow. Luckily, there were no injuries or fatalities. However, the event kept residents, as well as the fire department, on alert for a few days. Flare ups after a fire are a common concern.
The Pillars of Krotona
Visitors to Krotona are greeted by two pillars at the bottom of the hill, adorned with initials: APW and MP. Informed Theosophists and friends will know the letters stand for Albert Powell Warrington and Marie Poutz, two names that supremely stand out in the founding and history of Krotona.
