Nolan, executive director of the Central Orange County YWCA, included Avila among 30 prominent ``women of courage'' in Orange County's history. As part of the celebrations for the centenary of the building of the Santa Fe railroad in August 1988, a re-enactment of her protest was performed near the railway station by a local woman, Irma Camarena, and actors playing Mendelson and a sheriff.
