Murder of the Jujube Candy Heiress Author Talk

One candy heiress, two bullets, and three suspects.

Coronado rarely makes news for violent crime. But in the spring of 1975, World War II widow and retired librarian Ruth Quinn was murdered, execution-style, in her cottage. Her death sent a shock wave through the community. The granddaughter of Jujubes and Jujyfruits creator Henry Heide, Ruth was found fully clothed with her shoes on, in her bed, dead from two gunshot wounds. To this day, her murder has never been solved but whispers about her brother, her son, and even a local petty thief still swirl.

16th-century galleon San Salvador Sail Package

Jan 25 - ongoing

The Maritime Museum of San Diego is the only attraction to offer this popular day sail adventure experience aboard San Salvador, a replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s ship that arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542. These 4-hour Sailing Adventures are for people who love history and sailing. Few 21st Century people have sailed aboard a 16th Century galleon. You can become one of them. No sailing experience is required. An invaluable addition to your experience is the onboard historian who will explain how the San Salvador was sailed, navigated and defended. 

In addition to learning about the exploration of the West Coast, guests can assist the sail crew, enhancing their back-in-time experience.

Your tickets include general admission to visit the Museum fleet of ships and exhibits before your sail!

Jazz vocals receive a rich and smoky upgrade with the musical talents of the multi-talented Leonard Patton. Hailed for having a “sensational scat” (The San Diego Reader) and an “incredible voice” (Peter Sprague), this local jazz sensation is truly a must-hear artist. Drawing inspiration from musical icons like Pat Metheny, Stevie Wonder, and Bobby McFerrin, he now brings his captivating vocal dynamism to The Conrad.
