Spent most of the afternoon reading your stint in the Corps page. Loved the advice on boot camp. I am currently a legally blind, retired military vet. I was a Marine from 75-82 and was stationed on Oki twice; RS Dallas; MCLB Albany; Camp Lejeune; & of course MCRD San Diego. Great website. Thanks and take care.

This is great stuff! And I live around the corner on Brighton and Monterrey so I know your house. I bet you know alot of the old timers who are still in the neighborhood. In the 60's we lived in an apartment So. of the Blvd. in Tarzana. My dad was a manufacturers rep and we had load of 60's stuff like light boxes and candles. Everything we had that wasn't covered with Contac paper was avacado. And then my dad got an 'antiquing' kit so everything was antiqued avacado! --Regi

I grew up down on Lincoln St. between Victory Blvd. and Burbank Blvd. My mom is still in the same house!! Born in '71 and graduated in '89 from Burroughs,..Go Indians! Anyways, thanks for a lot for the stroll down Lincoln St! I'm coming home for X-mas and I'll be sure to get a "new" look at this web site icon! Peace in the BBC (Burbank City Fool!) Mark P.S. I would love to write more to tell you of my memories of Burbank and the vast changes since Ileft In 1990.
Name: Corita E-mail: cgravitt@kvie.org City: Sacramento Country: USA Date: 18-Oct-2004 22:54:15 Message: I grew up in Burbank and this brings it all back, good or bad. Veteran of St. Finbar School, lived at 418 N. Brighton Street, Ed McMahan's Budweiser commercials (well, at least one) were shot at my aunt's big paneled bar in her house across the street. Remember Pizza King, Chopsticks, Genios, and the DeBell Golf Course? A great place to be a kid. At the edge of Hollywood with the reflected glare of celebrities but still a small, seemingly innocent small town in many memorable ways.
Name: Ken Nordlie E-mail: knordlie@mn.rr.com City: Bloomington MN Country: USA Date: 22-Sep-2004 00:50:54 Message: Found your very entertaining and interesting site on a Google search for Hamms Beer Commercial info. I was at a olf buddy's cabin just 3 or 4 doors down from Arcadia Resort on Turtle Lake in northern Minnesota and I can verify that the "Land of Sky Blue Waters" commercials were indeed taken from the point at Arcadia Lodge - a well known spot in the 50s. I'll send along a picture if I can convince my friend to take one on his next trip there. My golf buddy owns Alf Landon's (ever hear that name?)old cabin, and local legend says that Carol Lombard and Clark Gable used to spent time at Arcadia Resort.

It sparked memories of things I haven't thought of in years. Thankyou for taking the time to put together such a delightful way to cruise down memory lane!

It was wonderful growing up in Burbank then-probably pretty good now. You have done a wonderful job documenting the times of our youth-thank you. I don't live in Calif. any more-so it is all the windmills of my mind.

Name: Larry Day, Jr. E-mail: larry@larryeday.com City: Rancho Cucamonga, CA Country: USA Homepage: http://www.freegb.net/www.larryeday.com Date: 28-Aug-2004 03:53:26 Message: Mr. Clark, Just a quick note of admiration regarding yourweb site. What was going to be just a quick,“I’ll see what that link is then jump back”turned into an entire evening! Being born in 1971 I remember visiting aunts anduncles that had their décor stuck in the late 60sand 70s, so your descriptions bring back memories. You have put a tremendous amount of time andenergy in to the preservation of your family’smemories and by the responses to your site,resurrected the memories of the many kids growingup in the 60s and early 70s for not just SouthernCalifornians but nationwide (and Canadians too). As a history graduate I commend you on the workthat you have done. Very few people would havetaken photos of the “mundane” or what seemedcommon place back then (like your Mom complainingthat you “wasted” film on taking a picture of apile of scrap lumber in the back yard) and evenfewer would have compiled these memories andphotos into such organized fashion that you havedone on the web site. Thanks for the insight into Burbank in the 60sand 70s. Sincerely,Larry Day, Jr.Rancho Cucamonga, CA PS: Question. Why did you move from SouthernCalifornia to the East? Did you feel you missedreal winters growing up and wanted your kids toexperience shoveling snow? Half joking / halfcurious.
Name: Allen Walden E-mail: arw_ramset@xemaps.com City: Washington DC Country: Date: 21-Aug-2004 15:41:39 Message: Hello Wes! Thanks for sharing your memories. That was great fun... and you helped me to clean out the cobwebs in my brain to fire a few neurons that needed a workout. I had many of the toys you had... and if I didn't own it, then one of my buddies had one. I think our generation was part of the "golden-age" of toys. We're lucky. --- Thanks again for taking the time to put your web pages together. Regards, Allen
Name: Vic Johansen E-mail: johansen@fuse.net City: Cincinnati Country: USA Date: 17-Aug-2004 07:33:46 Message: Wes, I truly enjoyed looking at all of your pictures of the Aurora Monster Models - what memories they brought back! I grew up in the 60's in New Jersey and spent many, many hours working on those very same models. When we moved to Cincinnati in 1966, I gave all of them away. Great pictures - it was a fun trip down Memory Lane. Thanks.Vic

Name: Richard E-mail: richard@richardsfault.com City: Houston Country: USA Homepage: http://www.richardsfault.com/photos.html Date: 3-Aug-2004 14:30:05 Message: Just enjoyed an extensive site visit. Great nostalgia and storytelling! One thing that seems to be missing is the story of how you met your wife. Did I overlook it? My site contains many nostalgic photos from the '70's and early '80's, but I have not developed them into stories as you have done so well.
Name: Danny Klein E-mail: daniel.klein@visteva.com City: Sacramento Country: Date: 26-Jul-2004 11:19:33 Message: A good friend of mine sent me the link to your web site. Amazing, I knew your parents. From 1979-1984 I worked on Lincoln, two doors east of the restaurant. Used to eat lunch there quite often. Became friends with your parents. Remember your mom quite well. What a character. Your dad getting yelled at and making faces. Oh my....when he got caught. It was entertaing and a nice break from work. I graduated BHS in 1971. My wife Bonnie (Bell) in 1974. Thanks for the great memories found in this web page.
Name: Debi E-mail: deborahdodge@clearchannel.com City: Burbank Country: USA Date: 24-Jul-2004 21:51:17 Message: Hi! I found your webpage and I was impressed with your dedication to Burbank. I was also shocked that my father wrote something about me. His only grandchildren are here in California (1 he's never seen) and we've been estranged for several years.
