I spotted this on the web and I thought I'd share it.

Remember when the Old Globe Theater burned to the ground?  Not OUR Old Globe Theater!!  I'm talking about the original in London.  The date was June 29, 1613, as mentioned in this past Tuesday's Today's highlight in history column.  Turns out they were putting on a performance of Henry VIII that required a cannon shot.  What could go wrong?  

This is the second week in a row that the Union-Tribune has had an article featuring a photo that includes the Tower Bar on University and Euclid.  This piece lets you take a ride on the #7 bus, shown here heading west at Winona Avenue.  I think this is the route you chose as a teenager to get to the Palisade Gardens skating rink.  Bus ridership is down in San Diego due to the pandemic, but not on the #7 Route.  Click HERE to read the article.

I was looking for something else and came across this May 1975 photo of Blumer's Bakery taken by my late friend John Suitts.  Click HERE to see some of the other photos he took of East San Diego.

A couple of hours later Cathy Fay posted on Facebook this October 1983 shot of the Century Twin Cinema around the corner from Blumer's.  I don't know Cathy but I wanted to make sure she got credit for the photo.

Linda Pinkerton Reutz '67 passed away June 23rd.  That's all the information shared on the Crawford Foundation web page.

Barbara Thomas Davis ’68 passed away June 23, 2020, after battling cancer for eight years.  Barbara worked full-time at an insurance brokerage company after graduating from Mesa College with an Associates degree. After moving to Utah, she worked full-time at Brigham Young University as a secretary in the Employment office.  She loved being a stay-at-home mom. After the children were grown, she especially enjoyed working for Jackman Music.  Her late brother Richard described her best when he said: “Barb was always nice and very kind.  I don't ever recall her being really angry.  She was always too kind to be mean, even when she thought she was being mean.”  Her kindness was evident throughout her life.
