Mr. Willie Agee Will be Missed
Inglewood suffered a great loss with the passing of Mr. Willie Agee. Agee was a 55-year Inglewood resident, and served on several City Boards and Commissions; most recently as Chairman of the Parks Commission. He moved to Inglewood in 1965, and served 21-months
in the Korean War. He was known by many in the community as Mr. Inglewood, and on June 4, 2016, the City renamed the playhouse at Ed Vincent Park in his honor. Mr. Agee was an integral part of the fabric of our community, and was a beloved ambassador who will
be greatly missed. May he rest in peace. Photo City of Inglewood.

the fragile ecosystem around them and how
the tiniest of insect players can loom large
and prop up our environment and standard
of living. Hopefully this ongoing project
will provide newfound insights into where
our most hardworking pollinators toil and
whereabouts on the map there’s a scarcity of
pivotal insects gallivanting around our gardens.
Times are ever turbulent and we’re clamoring
to spring forth from our couch-bound
quarantine. And we can reasonably and

Let’s collaborate and share knowledge
during this challenging COVID-strangled
epoch we’re currently enduring. So eschew
that bottle of insecticide forevermore and
provoke some scientific curiosity by scoping
out that beehive curled up in the corner of
your garage. Just be sure to socially-distance
yourself from beestings. •
