Mel Edwards, public relationscoordinator for the San Bernar-dino County Economic Devdop-lte t Commission, supported therole PLA can provide in “fur-thering the growth of tourismand recreational facilities inSan Bernardino and RiversideCounties.” Edwards also volun-teered to not only represent thecommission at PLA steeringcommittee session, but wouldrepresent the San BernardinoChamber of Commerce as well.

It was apparent from thosepresent at the opening PLA ses-sion, communities and cities out-side the formal road boundaryof Pioneer Loop will wish totake out memberships in the as-

'sociation.“When you think of the Aerial

I Moore said in concluding, “ThePioneer Loop Association canbe the beginning of a new tour-ism era for the great Inland,[Desert, and Mountain Empireof Southern California.”
