"I am the library director at PCC and although I am not aware of everything (by all means!), in 27 years, I had never heard of a WPA mural done here at PCC or Pasadena Junior College as it was called prior to 1948. There is a mural at one of the local high schools, McKinley School. Here is the website:
“Education (also called 'The Library Mural)”

I also saw an oral history with Olinka Hrdy and she said in the oral history that she never painted one for Pasadena City College."
"BH: Well someplace along the line had you done something for Pasadena Junior College, a mural?
OH: No. "
