Doug and Aleta Pottenger On October 14th the Monrovia Historical Museum received two distinguished guests. Doug Pottenger and his wife Aleta came bearing some gifts for the Pottenger Sanitorium display at the museum. Doug is the great-great grandson of Francis Marion Pottenger Sr. (1869-1961), founder of the Monrovia Sanitorium which bore his name. They came bearing three gifts: A silver mechanical pencil inscribed with Dr. Pottenger’s name on it, a crocheted cloth piece with the family name, and a framed photo with Dr. Pottenger and his line of descent.These items will be a fine addition to the exhibit.
