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

November 10, 2023


This would be the appropriate weekend to revisit the Colts Who Served in the Military page.  



November 10th is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps.  They are apparently the only service that has no trouble meeting their recruitment goals.  If they DID need to, it's fun to note that if you are suffering a hangover November 11th is always a day off -- unless you've got guard duty or something.



This may be a Catholic joke.  I'm not sure.



Phil Capp '61 made the Sunday edition of the Union Tribune.  Click HERE for a bigger picture with a caption.




A gaggle of Campus Lab School 6th Graders from 1963 once again got together at Lake Poway.  Click HERE for details and names.



Jelinda Kasmaier '62 had a party -- and I wasn't invited?  It's just as well.  I was probably busy working on my Revell B-36 plastic bomber kit.  Click HERE to see an enlargement of the invitation received by Dietra Anderson.



This week's Joe Courtney color photo from the '50s looks east on Broadway from the U. S. Grant Hotel.  Click HERE for a larger view.



Here's a similar shot, taken in March 1969, by Bob Stewart.  I don't know who he is, but his photos from the '60s are popping up on Facebook.  Click HERE for an enlargement.  I believe I once purchased a suit at Lion's Clothing.
