Yes,
you read that correctly. What was first planned as a submarine-like
structure has now evolved into the Hugh Story Memorial Rose Garden.
Although the original design was attractive to many, the final
approvals could not be obtained.
A garden concept, located adjacent
to the World War II Submarine Memorial at NTC, has proved appealing
to all parties
and would most certainly have pleased Hugh. Dennis Otsuji of
ONA Landscape Architecture developed the rose garden plan such
that
it flows beautifully into the overall landscape design on this
NTC Phase II site. Although there are still final approval
steps with the Park and Recreation Department, no true obstacles
are
anticipated, and completion is projected for early next year.

The Hugh Story Memorial Rose Garden is a project of the Point
Loma Association with funds managed by the Point Loma Foundation.
Donations are still being accepted. Checks should be made out to
the Point Loma Foundation, making a notation that the check is
for the Hugh Story Memorial. Send to:
