Merrimac Pool! I wonder if it is still there. I wonder if the Workman daughter still looks so awesome in a bikini - wish I could remember her first name.

I carried the evening Star! I remember that you had to carry the paper up and put in in the storm door. None of this toss the paper from a moving car and get it somewhere on the propoerty. We paperboys bought the papers from the printer and sold them to the residents - we had to collect our money or not get paid.

When the trashmen walked up to your house, emptied the cans into a burlap sack and carried it down to the street for you.

I remember attending the last home game of the Washington Senators.


And I bet they lost........


They were winning, but the fans that were there stormed the field, and the umps called it a forfeit.

I went to Whittier Woods for Kindergarten, First, and Second, starting in 1964. Classmates, perhaps??

Beach Boys on the Mall for 4th of July


Yes- we must be the same age or have sat right next to each other at these venues! They actually sold beer on the Mall for the 4th of July Beach Boys concerts.


I was there on the Mall on July 4, 1976 with my parents. It was all cool until about dark when it got packed just before dark for the fireworks and kids my age (16) showed up smoking pot left and right and one guy right next to us went to second base with his girlfriend right in front of us. So embarrassing.
