So, how'd we do?

This is the sixth year we have run our list of the top 95 most

influential people in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. We have

checked our sources, scoured our notebooks and came up with those who we

feel have changed and shaped our community. As always, we encourage

readers to take the list in good fun. But we also want to know what you

think. Who did we leave off? Where did we mess up? Tell us your thoughts

on our Readers Hotline at 965-7175 or via e-mail to hbindy@latimes.com .
