For people who attended Crawford High School or would have attended if they hadn't
moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

Ernie Cowan, also a classmate, writes about mockingbirds in his most recent Outdoors column.  It reminded me of the Big Bang Theory episode in which Sheldon comes unglued over a mockingbird's incessant verbal assault.  "He's MOCKING me!," screamed Sheldon in frustration.  Click HERE to read Ernie's column



Turns out the Kitaen family owned and operated the 7-Seas Locker Club downtown.  Susan Kitaen Rhea is Class of '66 and Marc is Class of '72.  Marc has a nice web site that displays his artwork.  Click HERE to check it out.




I'm a sucker for cool cars, hot babes and 1950s Kodachrome color.  Greg May posted this shot of La Verne at Borrego in 1952 on his Vintage San Diego web page.  I set it up on my site so you could view an enlargement, then he added more photos taken in Mission Hills.  Click HERE to see them all.



My old teaching assistant John Durant posted this photo, circa 1920, looking south to Torrey Pines Beach.  I've added it to the appropriate page on my web site.  Click HERE to take a look.




I had two requests in one day that sent me to the 1964 Centaur.  While I had the yearbook out I scanned and tried to blend together the two-page color shot of the Homecoming Queen and Princesses.  Click HERE to see it enlarged.


Dan Burton '66, his future wife Kerry, and Patrick Pope '75.  Pat passed away June 25th
