Love this -- and all of your stories Ron. Thank you.
You are a terrific writer w wide-ranging interests and immeasurable curiosity. Did not know this part of LA history, though I had relatives who moved there in the 40's.
I grew up in L.A> in the 60's and 70s and I was unaware of this!
And thank you so much for the kind words. I guess I am a curious cat. A friend of mine who I hadn't been in touch with recently asked me in a message: "Are you still turning over rocks to see what's on the other side?" I thought: That's exactly it!
