Have any of you heard this? Some nut job out here is trying to change the name of a prominent mountain from its name, Mt. Diablo, to Mt. Regan. Of course, its violates his rights of seperation of church and state, cause diablo means devil. He tried to get it changed to "yaweh" (or what ever that word is), but it didn't work. He tried to change it to Regan in 05' but was told the person had to be dead for 5 years for a name change.
I grew up around this mountain. Schools, hospitals are named after it. You can see it from anywhere in the san francisco bay area. http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_14284156 I heard it made the national news. (I wrote an email to the US geographical board of naming (or some such place), same people he did, to request a new name: Mt. Penn and Teller. I figure if he can try to get it changed, why not me. Those guys are funny, and I think they would like a mountain.

In the bay area it would be more appropriate to name this mountain Mt. Garcia

And I thought it was going to be a reference to Regan from The Exorcist, the only Regan I know. I like Mt. Diablo.

TOUCHE Santa!!!!!!!!!!
K-Dawg, My grandparents lived right at the base of Mt Diablo and I spent every summer growing up there! I blazed many a trail, rescued many a wounded critter, caught hundreds of lizards and snakes and pretended to be a wilderness boy on and around that Mountain! Even being of the Right (in most cases) and liking and respecting Regan, I AGREE, leave the name alone! MMc |

Mick-I'm with you. Leave the name. I ain't got no issue with Reagan, the man was president. But they should leave the name!

Anyone who has ever ridden a bicycle up that mountain on a hot July day, would find the current name more than appropriate.

Due to the awesome Mick, and others, it appears I am not the only one familiar with this landmark.
I will keep you updated.

In my home town a local athlete won some sort of medal thingy at something called the olympics a few years back. That is all well and good, but suddenly there was a street named after her, a community center, and a city park. It just got ridiculous.
I think that all mountains have been found, discovered and already named so leave them alone. The late president Reagan has an aircraft carrier named after him. There is also his presidential library and an airport. I admire him, but that seems to be enough to me. |

Several years ago some republican congressmen wanted to put Reagan's face on the ten dollar bill. What about poor Mr. Hamilton?
