Jim and Joan moved to the Pasadena area in 1954, when Jim began his internship and residency at USC County Hospital. Jim spent his career as a prominent physician affiliated with Huntington Hospital. Joan divided her time between family and community volunteer work.
“I thought it would be appropriate to create the endowment for the arts since this is an area that mom loves,” said Anne Caillouette Lawler. “She has been a docent at the Huntington Library ever since I can remember. Pasadena has such great history and traditions, and we were pleased to create a fund that honors my parents’ engagement in Pasadena and supports our community’s arts organizations.”
