For people who attended Crawford High School or would have attended if they hadn't
moved -- or just have fond memories of San Diego in the '40s, '50s and '60s.

September 15, 2023

5784!!  Where did the time go?  Happy New Year to my Old Testament friends


Homecoming 2023 turned out wonderfully.  Click HERE to see some nice photos -- and the result of the game against Mountain Empire.



I couldn't resist sharing this magnificent photo of The Presidio.  Click HERE if you'd like to view a larger version.



Some of you remember this Denny's at the south end of College Avenue from your high school days.  I remember the spot from when I was small enough to stand up in the back seat of our 1947 Ford.  It's now a little strip mall with a Boll Weevil.  Click HERE for the details.



Torrey Pines Beach just keeps reappearing on Facebook.  I've added this postcard to the page you saw last week.  Click HERE to see it again.



Postcards of the Aztec Motel got me thinking about the Aztec Drive-In next door.  I found a menu and added it to the Aztec Drive-In page.  Click HERE to view the items that cost more than 10¢.  The menu says the carhop would not take orders for less than that.




If you're Class of '64 you were a Senior at Crawford 60 years ago.   Click HERE to peruse the school paper from September 19, 1963.



Coach Dick Draz passed away this past Tuesday, September 12th.  I doubt any Crawford faculty member left behind a more loyal following.  Click HERE to access the Colt Corral blog.  If you type Draz into Search This Blog (see below) you can look back on a number of instances where Coach Draz was mentioned.  There are a couple of videos and at least one web page.  





The Crawford Foundation says Linda Kelley Croulet '62 passed away August 4, 2023.  That's all I know, except I think she lived in Anza, California.
