April 24, 2020



Did you get your Stimulus Check yet?  All of my friends did, but not me.  Luckily, Google pointed me to the official IRS site, which asked me three questions:  Social Security Number, Date of Birth, and Street Address.  It only took me three tries to Ace this test.  My check is supposed to be direct deposited today.  Click HERE if you still haven't gotten yours and want to know when it might arrive.



Did you ever hang out at Chollas Lake?  This photo was on the front page of Wednesday's Union-Tribune in a story about some of the local parks reopening.  I was intrigued at the Canada goose taking flight at the center of the shot.



Dick Cloward '60 has sent me some samples from his map collection, which I hope to share.  I'm starting with one called Ashore in San Diego.  It was given to recruits at the Naval Training Center on the occasion of their first liberty.  This one was sent home by Victor Green on September 3, 1945.  Click HERE to see it enlarged and to read all about it.

Here are a couple of items from the Memories Page.


Here's a page from an Oscar's menu someone absconded with around 1963.  Click HERE if you'd like to peruse the entire menu.  



A snapshot of Campus Lab School chums at Bob Richardson's 11th birthday in 1954.  One went on to Hoover and two to Helix.  Click HERE for a larger view of this motley crew -- with names.



It's two weeks late, but here's the Pacer for April 8, 1965 -- 55 years ago.  Click HERE to read all six pages.
