“Our archives include a San Juan Point Corporation general stock certificate of Anna G. Walters, local real estate agent and investor, in the amount of “Two Thousand Five Hundred Shares of Capital Stock at Laguna Beach, Cal.” dated September 1, 1923, signed by “J. L. Beebe, President, and Joe Skidmore, Secretary.” A letter to the members of the San Juan Point Corporation regarding Dana Point and adjacent subdivisions of 894 acres also listed “P. H. Krick, Vice President, and A. G. Walters, Executive Manager and Sales.” In a letter dated March 18, 1924, Joe Skidmore stated he was successful in having the map of the San Juan Point Tract formally accepted by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Skidmore reported he was compelled to promise the supervisors a specific outlet for the general public, a public park, and keeping the sand strip from the foot of the bluff to the ocean for the general public. He further stated, “We were extremely fortunate because two members of the Board had last Sunday been down to Dana Point and inspected what we are doing in a general way. After the acceptance of the map they complimented us on the stairway [to the beach], the house for the public [Scenic Inn], and also on the retaining wall.”
