Another tidbit from our Humorist in Residence Paula Kincaid
Linda Thomas didn't go to Crawford, but was recently added to the Fry Day email list because she is a neighbor of Gail Schindler Fogelman and, by a circuitous route, now a friend of mine. Linda's been going through her late husband Gary's stuff and was wondering what to do with the ring he got when he graduated from San Diego State College in 1963. I guess you know what happened. It's on its way to David Sleet in Atlanta and will soon cross the pond to Belgium, where it will be prized by Marcel Hebbinlink, who worked with Dave at State in the late '60s. Dave says I'm a matchmaker. Isn't there a song about that?
Are you getting tired of photos of Torrey Pines Beach? Too bad. Here's one from 1941. Click HERE to see an enlargement and a Wizard of Oz moment. And I'm not talking about the alleged Poppy Fields.
Remember the Aztec Drive-In Restaurant on College and El Cajon? Me neither. Our family usually headed west on El Cajon to Keith's Drive-In. Someone recently waxed rhapsodic about Azteca Tacos near 54th and I ended up on my old Aztec Drive-In page. They are not the same thing. It would appear that the Aztec Drive-In fed the hungry from early in World War II to around 1962. Click HERE to check out the updates I made to the page.
Holy Crap!! How did THAT happen? We're now looking back at 60-year old student newspapers. Click HERE to read the September 29, 1960 Pacer and learn about the man who replaced Mary McMullen as Principal. Also the results of the Football Carnival, whose program we featured last week.
Click HERE to read the Pacer issued on September 30, 1965. That's only 55 years ago. The cover story has Sheryl Slayen and Chris Benson making plans for Club Week. I don't know what that it, but I'm picturing Cave Men with Clubs. Maybe I better go back and read the article.
