I think it's actually 27, 45, 32, 55, 28 for an average age of 37.4!

25, 45, 32, 28, 55

Ock, is 28?!  And Dan is 55?  Could have fooled me again.

Looks like Dan/Lunican couldn't wait to set the record straight.

Hehe ... well....in any event , all of you are obviously accomplished and Positive-minded people.  I thank god for each of you!  Our Historic Fabric , as all of you know, needs all the help it can get.

I hope to devote more of my time to these efforts..  I am having a good feeling for Annie Lytle at this particular stage in the game.. I think for the first time in ages , a concerted effort to market the building , coupled with a much needed cleanup inside and out is forthcoming.

It is nice to finally put faces and names together.  I have met some of you. I would like to meet ALL of you .

I was thinking, given Ock's posts, that he was well north of 100!  Just kidding, but if he was as active as he says in the 1960's, I would put him in at least his 60's  (although he LOOKS much younger!).  Ock, I hope you are "listening".

It really gets scary when you read this as I just did, and found that I consider MYSELF as some of the "Historic Fabric" of our community!

Normally you would be correct, however my father suffered a serious accident when I was in my early teens and he could no longer work.  My sister nearly 10 years older then I was already into the Hippie Culture, so at the tender age of 14, I was emancipated and packed off with sis to the Left Coast about 1968. We lived in a commune in Dunlap, CA for awhile, then Fresno, Paramount, Long Beach, Lemoore (where my parents moved to about 1972) and thus we were reunited but not as a live in situation... On the road too long to go back!


SEE? IT WAS A TRIP!

That was Ock?  I thought it was John Galt!

[ricker]

Galt.  I always get a laugh everytime I logon.
regarding Lake Shore, LAPS was also presented the Great Save award for the stabilization, restoration, repainting and protection of the remaining structures on Bayview, in the heart of their neighborhood.
Truly a "can-do" crowd, they raised funds for years and successfully fought demolition!
Photos from that evening are quite special to those folks most deeply involved.
Kudos!Cheers! and Congrats!
