moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

This Class of '68 coed says hello from The Love Boat. No, I ain't telling you her name, but this was from last week.

Jack Tempchin's image in the '65 Centaur, on the web, and on a mural in Leucadia showing some of that town's music notables.  Jack wrote "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" for the Eagles.  I'm thinking his royalty check last year was a lot more than the $12.38 I got for writing "USS Saratoga: CV-3".  Thanks to Wayne Zucker for sending the mural photo.  Click HERE to check out Jack's web site.

Here's the cover of the program for the November 13, 1959 football game between Crawford and Saint Augustine AT Hoover.  I think the Colts were no longer a football powerhouse when they finally got a stadium.  Click HERE to see the rest of the program and the lineups for each team.

The November 25, 1959 Pacer shared the sad fact that the Colts lost the Friday the 13th Game against Saint August 26-12.  It also had the above snippet about Jim Gilmer's Model A, which -- through the magic of ChatGTP -- I was able to buff out pretty nicely.

I spiffed up a tinted postcard from the old Oscar's at Euclid and El Cajon.  Click HERE to see what's there now, and read some comments.
