February 16, 2024


 


I guess mothers have been the same throughout history






The post office returned a newsletter with the above sticker over the address.  I get these every mailing.  Sometimes folks have moved without letting me know.  Sometimes they send me their new address and I type it in wrong.  This sticker was attached to the newsletter I mail to myself -- and I've been at this address since 1972.  Having said that, I have no complaints.  The post office does a really good job for me.




Last week's invite to a party in Alvarado Estates got me thinking about the rumor that the subdivision once boasted an airport.  Turns out not to be a rumor, although it was more like a landing strip, or airpark.  Click HERE to read all about it!




We mentioned the closing of the Santee Drive-In a few weeks back, and took a look at the Campus Drive-In page.  This week we can take a look at the Rancho Drive-In page.  Click HERE to check it out.

My brother Bryan Lanois ’68 had a heart attack February 3, 2024 in Murrieta, California and passed peacefully.  In his honor, please grab your nearest loved one and give them a hug -- Joel Lanois ’74
