Artist touches up mural

John Whalen, original artist of the Charles Lindbergh mural at 310 Ninth St., near the corner of Main Street, stands in a crane basket to touch up the mural that was installed in early July.

The Lindbergh mural, formerly located on the commuter terminal building at San Diego International Airport, was acquired by the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project.

“I think it’s going to work really well here,” said Whalen, who painted the mural with his wife, Jeanne Whalen.

Bob’s Crane Service of Ramona donated use of the crane.
