Well, I was brought up in Long Beach. Once lived on Willow! Small world, shrinking all the time. God bless you and hold you close always.

Wardlow Rd and Santa Fe. Lived there too. Went to Stevenson Jr. HS. Getting smaller.
I lived all over Long beach from 1959 to 1987.
Graduated from Wilson HS in "77".
Also went to ST John Bosco for one year.
Jo, the airport was quite a ways away from anywhere I lived. Of course I left for the USAF in 1962, and have not been back since the late 6k0's.
I also lived on Orange Avenue, and then, years later, in Dominguez. I believe Wardlow was the earlier name of 34th Street, not certain though.
My brother currently goes to (well, ditches school every single day) at Dominguez Preparatory School. He's a senior there, has all the credits already to get his diploma, so he just doesn't go to his classes.
The school in Dominguez I only recall is Dominguez Elementary, which I attended.
Do not recall Bosco, sounds RC, not a problem. I used to go to mass at St. Anthony's, but not RC. A Catholic family practically adopted me, and I am so grateful to this day.
This has been a fantastic thread, nostalgic too. I go now. Almost my bedtime. God bless you both big time and keep you close always.
It is a good school, but I think it was even better when your Father attended....I really am going to bed any minute, but this thread has me totally wrapt in it.
My brother Alex went to that elementary school, which is write next door to the middle/high school, Dominguez Preparatory School. He went to the elementary school for 3rd grade, then they transferred him to a magnet STEAM school in Watts, until he graduated from elementary school, then he went to middle school and high school, taking magnet STEAM honors classes, till junior year in San Pedro. Now he is right back next to the elementary school, where some of the first friends he ever met still go.
A Christian family practically adopted me from the age of 14 or 15. I am grateful for them also. Moved back in with my family when I was 26.
I'm glad he recovered from his cat scratch fever.
Sorry I highjacked the thread to take it in this direction.
I am not a fan of his music about women, but I admit that I liked his interviews on the American virtue of self reliant hunting, 2a culture. He is the most articulate debater on the subject and as much an entertaining statesman as a guitarist.
I've been motivated to pray for his salvation from time to time because I care about his destiny and those he could reach as a celebrity. He should have received a clear presentation on how to get saved following a concert at a Harley Dealership. It was handwritten and addressed to him in an envelope. Hopefully he got saved.
1960-6i1, stopped due to having broken my back, no spinal damage but three shattered lumbar vertebrae.
I did manage a third-place win at Apple Valley at a CIF meet.
(I was lucky). My teammates were Terry Barkley, Skip Mercier, David Marsel, and several more.
All great folks.
