12 OUR YUCAIPA | AUGUST 2014 Dear Our Yucaipa Magazine, I moved my family from Upland, where we spent the previous 12 years, to this wonderful community early this year. I will note that the outcome has been tremendous for my family overall. My children play outside with the other kids from the neighborhood on a daily basis and they love their new life here. I founded an investment management firm in 2011 and could not think of a better place to establish roots for its growth. I have met with Mayor Hoyt, I have enjoyed amazing food from places like Queen Bean and Angus McCurdy's and most of all, I have recognized the clear difference in the people's attitudes in every line of business here. I feel more at home here than I ever did in Upland. I have attached a few pictures that document our time here so far. I would be honored if you choose to use any of them. The fireworks pictures were taken from my deck, which is just an extraordinary blessing in itself, and the others are a mix of other experiences of beauty and fun. Thank you for making this community I am proud to call home for many years to come. Sincerely, Dean Parsons SAve the DAte!
