Did you ever come out into the living room as a kid and find your pet Goldfish floating upside down?


Looks like Doonesbury has been around so long that Mike Doonesbury might need hearing aids.  It hits close to home. Click HERE to see the comic strip enlarged.



The “Cows on the Beach” photo by Herbert Fitch was especially appreciated by one member of Crawford’s Class of ’66.  Turns out Doug Fitch is Herbert’s grandson, and the son of Dave Fitch, whose company I enjoyed when visiting Nelson Photos in Little Italy.

Class of 1964 members at Casa Guadalajara in Old Town on FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH 2024 (left to right around table: Meri Pierce Knight, Bob Lutz, Joanie Clark Hafer, Laurie Koosed Ratner, Bev Bachman Laursen, Kris Gjerde Flynn,and Janis Irvine Ricards).  Click HERE for a version large enough to see what each person ordered.

I posted this photo of Art Huebner's Texaco station at the northeast corner of Park and El Cajon a few years back.  I've added three photos that show the corner's development over the years.  I hope your sitting down.  Click HERE and be amazed -- or depressed.

Iconic photos are the best of the best, like the shot of the flag raising on Mt.
