Mark Littleton '67 and Sons @ Angels/Dodgers Game


Snagged this great Facebook pic of Mark with his sons, Micah and Mark Jr.

Mark went to Muir with us and then moved, graduating from Estancia High in Costa Mesa in 1967.

"We had a great time. Laughing at Juniors antics and cheering on the Dodgers. This was one of the annual pre-season exhibition games the Dodgers play with the Anaheim (L.A.) Angels (The Freeway Series). Dodgers won tonight but lost the 3 game series winning only one of the three games. As you know Dodgers are National League and Angels American League. They won't meet each other again this year unless it’s in the World Series. My first Dodger game was back in 1958/59 just after the then Brooklyn Dodgers came to L.A. It was at the Coliseum pre Chaves Ravine ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LA_Coliseum_1959_World_Series.jpg. ) They had to chain link fence off the outfield. Good clean wholesome fun."

WHITTIER - The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall, a three-quarter-scale traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., arrived at 2:05 p.m. today at Rose Hills Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3888 Workman Mill Road, for a weeklong public event.

It was escorted by a motorcade of 70 veterans and other riders from motorcycle clubs.

It was followed by a Purple Heart Ceremony.

The wall will be open for viewing beginning Friday and continuing through March 30. The opening ceremony will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, beginning with a prelude concert at 6:30 p.m.

The replica - 8 feet tall and 240 feet long - will be open to the public 24 hours a day. The replica is inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 servicemen and women who died or went missing in Vietnam.

Paper and pencils will be provided so visitors can make rubbings of names etched on the wall.

A display of Vietnam-era vehicles will be on hand, and "Taps" will be performed daily around sunset following a blessing at the Wall.

A veteran's resource fair will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The fair will feature nearly 50 organizations and businesses that provide services to veterans.

Where Are They Now??



Remember Jay 'Chris' Peterson, BHS Class '67, Yell Leader? Emailed him to find out whatsup and received this wonderful update which he said I could share! Thanks Jay ~

Hi Cathy,

Your photography is wonderful. Sure helps to have a great subject and your sun sets and sun rises are just the thing. Hope all is well with you as we are doing great as retirees. Now that our home is complete we have time to do some sightseeing and traveling. Unfortunately I doubt we can make the reunion this year. I will be headed to So Cali in April to visit our daughter and a cousin that turned 80 this year and is my mentor for many things. After getting my address book hacked last May I reduced my Facebook account to just my name. If you completely delete your account Facebook has the right to see your photos and address if they wish so the wise thing to do is remove all information and keep it active. My situation is the third time I have seen this happen so I found the need to leave this social network. Anyone that is interested in my activities already has my email address and contacts me personally. Thanks for keeping me informed and I appreciate your invitation to the reunion.

I have been involved in a lifetime passion of mine.....salmon and steelhead fishing. I leave today for a 2 day trip to the Olympic Peninsula to fish on a protected river within an Indian reservation. Prospects for great fishing are super good.



I also have been working on my 1930 Model A Tudor sedan street rod. I finally have the dream garage to work on my projects and now my hobby of building this car gets undivided attention.



Sherri and I are delighted with our new home and life in Northwest Washington.



Kudos to you for a great blog for all of us Bulldogs. Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Cheers,
Jay Peterson

And here are a couple of more from the past...





FEBRUARY 18, 2012 UPDATE

From Jay today...

Thought you would like to see my 17 lb. steelhead I caught 2 days ago on the Quinalt River on the Olympic Peninsula. This big boy got to go back and share his genetics. Four others will be shared with friends and appreciated for their fine flavor and healthy meat. Take care. Jay

From Fran:
"I would like to add that I've had to recently move because I got tired of throwing back all of the newspapers that kept landing in my yard instead of my neighbor: BILL GATES !!"

Bob's Video

Thanks to John Rocke for this fun video!

Some of you may have already seen this, it’s been “around.” But, this is a bit of meaningful nostalgia to those of us who grew up in Burbank, or wherever there was a “Bob’s.”

Enjoy…
