My father worked for Knudsen Creamery.
My parents watched Sandy Koufax pitch a perfect game.
We went to Rams games at the Coliseum.
We went to Kings and Laker games at the Forum.
A couple of my classmates were (are) in the movie industry.
Our school field trips were to the Griffith Park Observatory, the Museum of Science and Industry, the La Brea Tar Pits, etc.
I body surfed and SCUBA dived from Ensendada to Santa Barbara.
We went deep sea fishing out of Norm’s Landing.
We listened to Dr. Demento on KPPC FM.
We dove for scallops next to Marineland.
We went to the Laserium show when it first opened.
We went to a Chicago/Beach Boys concert at Anaheim Stadium.
We ate at Tommy’s in formal clothes after the prom.
I taught SCUBA diving at the Long Beach YMCA.
When I had money I would take dates to the Ports of Call Restaurant in San Pedro, making sure to drive over the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
When I was broke, I would take dates to the Los Angeles Arboretum or the Huntington Library.
And, to top it off, we loved to go GRUNION HUNTING.
Yeah, I’m from the L.A. area.
