George Christie, Prez of the Ventura chapter of HA has been a high profile spokesman for the Angels. I've met him, good guy, business owner and his daughter is a lawyer that handles a lot of their business.
He carried the torch along Las Posas Rd during the 1984 Olympics. Later he sued Eunice Shriver on behalf of the HA demanding their $3k donation go to the kids at Special Olympics, not for "administrative costs". That got him into a bit of hot water, all of a sudden they were being investigated for murder and mayhem.
