A journey through local history: the legacy of Julie Lugo Cerra

Julie Lugo Cerra was born August 30, 1945. First child to Charles Reyes and Mary Lugo, she would be joined 6 years later by brother Carlos. They would be part of the 6th generation of Lugos born here, one of the first 8 families to settle in what would become Culver City. Julie attended St. Augustine’s up through 8th grade, then St. Bernard’s high school. She spent her first year of college at UCSB (where she always joked that she only really learned two things: how to make wonderful Polish Catholic cheese blintzes which always made an appearance at her Easter table and to drive a stick shift). Julie later graduated with a B.A. in Sociology from Cal State Northridge while working full time for the city of Culver City in the City Treasurer’s Office. It was at the city that she met Sam Cerra in the break room, and they married in November of 1974 and had their daughter Michele in December of 1975. -- Culver City News
