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.

August 21, 2026

-----------------------------------------------------

Was there a Pat Brillo's in Crawford Country?  I used to stop at the one downtown when I was at the Central Library.

-----------------------------------------------------

Well, no -- I DON'T remember the Algiers Restaurant, but I now know what replaced it -- a bunch of things.  The Campus Chuck Wagon stands out.  Click HERE and see what I spent all week putting together.

-----------------------------------------------------

I've reworked and, in some cases colorized, the photos on the web page I once did for my late gal-pal Nancy Watson Wingo. Click HERE to see what else fell out of her wallet -- AND the now-historic photos her father took.

-----------------------------------------------------

I thought I'd scanned the important pages of my 1959 Thomas Brothers map book, but apparently not.  What are the chances Mr PB would leave out Pacific Beach?  Click HERE to see the rest of San Diego County.

Evening Tribune • August 22, 1966 -- A rugby-playing doctor?  I think George Clooney played him on TV.

Evening Tribune • August 24, 1966 -- Remember Hillside Hospital on El Cajon Blvd, on the "hillside" next to the Ed Center, or Alice Birney Elementary if you prefer.

God I was cute -- and A. I. made me cuter!
