This was so cool, it was the best memory trip I have ever had.

This thread is indeed a great trip down memory lane.

Fanner54, I rememeber Sandy Lawson because she lived in the apartment across the yard from mine. I lived at 4977 Strathmore, so you were probably across the street. Debbie is in my K or 2nd grd picture thats on here. Have you looked at the pictures? I'll come back and tell you the page. Debbie Byrd sounds familar. Hyden

Thanks Hyden, I'll check out the pictures. A.F.D., thanks, I'll be staying on here, this has been so exciting. I remember the ice cream man, and seem to remember he was kind of bent over. I remember the red and white truck. I also remember walking home from school crying because of Kennedy's assasination.

Kids and parents alike would hear the tune from the ice cream truck off in the distance and start gathering around the usual spots in the neighborhood where he'd park, all eager to choose a nice cool treat on a warm summer day. I wish someone had a photo of that truck.

NightBazzar,I`m sure my sister-in-law has pictures somewhere but since my brother passed away I`m not sure if she would let me go through her pictures.However they had 3 daughters who lived there so they might be able to go through the pictures,I will see what we can do.A.F.D.

Does anyone remember a family from South Africa? I think the boy's name was Andreas and the girl Matilda. I remember Matilda had blonde hair. I lived at the end of Strathmore and remembered playing in the woods past the playground. To this day I love the woods. Just not in California, you might not make it out again.

I lived in the same area as Ethel and Susie Witherspoon and Terry and Mary Lynn Maple. Mrs Witherspoon used to babysit me. Would love to find Susie, kept in touch for years, but then lost contact. It's hard to find the girls if you don't know their married name.

Hi fanner54, nothing like a new person to fire up the old memories again. I remember Ethel ,she was my girlfriend in 5th or 6th grade. i lived on eastwood dr fromm 55' to 68'. i lived in the bungalow closest to the pool. welcome aboard
