SOLAHA Vol. III, No. 25 Ann (Good) Menard
Ann (Good) Menard tells charming quintessential American immigrant story of how here dad and uncle came to the U.S.A. from Iscia, Italy and warm remembrances of their first Christmas in San Pedro as young boys when a dollar was like a fortune.
Lovely and smart Ann aka “Annie” is one of five daughters of Joe and Dottie Good. Her dad and Uncle Mike owned “Joe and Mike’s” (auto repair), Good Buick in Wilmington and Peninsula Pontiac in Torrance. Their family hailed from Ischia (cousins to DiMeglio and DiCarlo families). She grew up in San Pedro, attended Seventh Street School, then the family moved to Palos Verdes and she attended Dapplegray, and Miraleste High School. She earned her B.A. at UCLA and continued on to Loyola for her law degree (Magna cum Laude).
She married in 1989 and moved to Pasadena, and moved back to “PV” in 1991 to raise her two sons. Her law career is impressive. She is Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary for The Macerich Company, one of the country’s leading owners, operators and developers of major retail and mixed-use real estate.
