These were the first Guardian Angels. Mark Nicholaw. a member of the San Diego chapter explained. We are primar- ily here for two reasons. We function as crime deterrents by patrolmg neighbor- hoods and intervening in crimes in pro- cess. We also serve as a constructive or- ganization for young people. Being an An- gel gives us a means of developing a posi- tive self-image while being of service to the community as weM. Mark Nicholaw joined the Angels in July. 1982. Three months of strenuous physical conditioning, martial arts train- ing, and actual street patrols were re- quired to become a graduated Angel. We are required to follow a code of conduct, and wearing our uniforms is a privilege that must be earned. The red and white shirts that the Angels wear must be earned during a period of proba- tion following the initial training. The de- sign on the shirt, an eye set m a triangle With wings extending is symbolic of peace and the Angel duty to protect and see all. Mark has participated in approximately two patrols a week. His patrols primarily walked the streets of Logan Heights. Downtown, and Southeast San Diego. It was all worth it though, he said, because I was tired of seeing people ifraid to walk the streets. Joining the Guardian Angels was my way of doing something about it. Seniors 173
