Last week’s reference to harbor cruises brought back fond memories for Melanie May ’74, whose father piloted several of the boats — and even let her take the wheel.
-----------------------------------------------------
I, also, got to putt around the harbor on occasion, accompanying
my father while he drove the BB II and picked up dry cleaning from
Navy ships in the bay. I assume the BBII was named after Bob
Breitbard, who owned Balloon Laundry. I may have actually taken
this photo, which -- if taken today -- would have the Midway
Museum in the background. That's my uncle Walt Johnson on the
left, and my dad leaning against the steering wheel.

How appropriate that this Lee Passmore photo of B Street Pier,
with a little sign that says "Harbor Excursions", dropped into my
lap on Facebook. I've added some details, enlarged the photo, and
added a recent view from roughly the same spot. Click HERE
and enjoy.

Natalie Ault, Bob Richardson, and Jim Schrupp were movie stars in the 5th Grade at the Campus Lab School. Click HERE for the Rest of the Story". Bob's not gonna be happy with one of the photos below. I'm pretty sure the Richardson family home once stood somewhere in that forest of high rise structures.

K C Alfred took these aerials of SDSU, which illustrated an article in Wednesday's UT (don't ask). I've enlarged them if you'd like to "Curse the Gods" that ruined the campus that you once adored. Click HERE and leave me alone. Oh, wait -- I've added a third aerial taken by Meg McLaughlin, which appeared in yesterday's paper. It's not SDSU, but it's close.

Barbara and Tom Cassie in 2021. Daughter Robin penned a nice memorial for her dad, who passed away April 4th, which I've placed on the Class of '62 Obituary Page.
