,: CONFERENCE: Edwin Meese, Merri Systems Protection Board Chair- man Daniel Levinson, former Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz and National Treasury Employees Union President Robert Tobias are among the myriad of scholars and government and union leaders slated to speak at a Federal Sector Labor Relations national conference. The two- day conference, to be held at the Kona Kai Beach and Tennis Resort, is being sponsored by the Center for Labor Management and Employ- ment ~aw at the .U~chool of Law in coopera- tion with the Fe~ediation and Conciliation Seiv1c_e and the U.S. Department of Labor.

department. Re-entering the La Habra de- velopment scene, Lawton re- members growing up at the family home, built in 1912, on North Harbor Boulevard. "We often chased animals on the property and never had to worry about making too much noise. There weren't very many neigh- bors." Today, the Lawton property, owned by Michael's parents, attorney Robert and Gussie Law- ton, is surrounded by condomi• niums, a shopping center and tract homes. "Mixed use" defines what Lawton bas discovered on his return home. "We have a helter-skelter city," he says. "That's not to say it doesn't have potential; it just needs a more focused plan to fit the future." Lawton adds, "The diversity of commercial uses here is helter- skelter. Retail and shopping cen- ters have been allowed to spring up anywhere. They've forgotten to establish a commercial corri-

dor. Lambert Road and La Habra Boulevard should have been left for residential planning, while Imperial Highway and Whittier Boulevard should have been the main commercial corridors." Lawton, whose father served on the La Habra City Council years ago, hopes through his work on local investment prop- erties to encourage mor e busi- ness to help fill the present 100 commercial vacancies within the city limits. And there are other goals. An avid bike rider, he's anxious to return to daily rides. With en• couragement and a planned re- covery r egimen, there's no doubt among Lawton's acquaintances that he'll soon be back on the main highway, working longer days and enjoying good health. /

three months time, it just kept getting larger, so a tumor specialist was called in. After a needle aspiration and six weeks of testing, doctors concurred I bad Hodgkin's disease. "That was devastatingly se- rious news," recalls Lawton, whose young career in the San Diego land market was on the rise. A graduate of th~ Un jyersi• ty of San Diego Law School with a Juns torate, he was en- veloped in a mixed-use commer- cial project in San Diego's Boni- ta area. He found it difficult to put his goals aside and face the unknown. In October, with the support of many relatives and friends, Law- ton underwent surgery at a Los Angeles hospital. The daily follow-up radiation and testing necessitated a move to La Habra - within driving distance of the laboratories. As his strength gradually re- turned, Lawton discussed join• ing his brother-in-law Greg J ones, an associate with Villelli Enterprises, in the commercial/ industrial real estate brokerage

LA HABRA - Michael Lawton agrees his recent affiliation with Villelli Enterprises is a homecoming of sorts. And he's the first to praise the 34-year-old La Habra real estate firm for taking him on board Dec. 1. It's just that his planned road to success in the · San Diego County development arena bas taken a temporary detour that's brought Lawton back to his roots. In an unplanned battle with malignant lymphoma, the 34-year-old's postoperative pre- scription calls for a three-hour working day 1 Seated over lunch at a local restaurant, Lawton willingly dis- cusses his slow road to recovery after major surgery and a "bombardment of radiation." A positive attitude and contagious smile belie the pain the La Habra native bas endured in the past six months. "It began with a small swelling in the neck," Lawton explains, poking at his chers salad. "In
