Comments:

I worked as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times from 1983-2008. I covered the history of Southern California and wrote a column called "L.A. Then and Now," which appeared in the Sunday edition. I also published two books, "Curbside L.A. (1996) and L.A. Unconventional" (1998). I am currently writing for Angels Walk L.A, a self-guided walking tour of Los Angeles, a board member of the Historical Society of Southern California and taking care of six grandchildren, from time to time.

School Story:

How could I forget the time, prior to graduation, when Bob Rosenthal invited me over to see his new apartment on California Blvd and gave me a big kiss right there on his stairs. Or the time Chris Ramirez wrote me a lovely poem, which I still have to this day.

Congratulations on your recent Masters! Every now and then when I pull my hair into a French twist, I swear, I remind myself of your mother. Wishing you much happiness!

I was also very good friends with George Bull at Wilson. After Jr High, I think he moved to San Clemente. Any chance you have his e-mail?
