My brother taught me to drive in Turnbull Canyon as well. He let me drive his Austin Healey, with himself in the passenger seat, up and down that road until I got the hang of a stick shift and knew how to take a curve. Good thing we didn’t get stopped; that
was before I got my learner’s permit. I was 14.
He was a really cool guy, my favorite sibling, 12 years my senior, but young at heart.
Seems like there is quite a number of Freepers from that area. I have been surprised at the amount of my school friends that are conservatives. I went to Santa Fe High, but got married in my senior year and finished at Whittier.
