Happy Birthday, Travis. Hard to believe you were 16 when the terrorists attacked. Do you remember where you were that day? Does anyone else remember where they were? If so, leave a comment. I had just arrived at the Raytheon Training Facility in Long Beach for Six Sigma training and had not had my radio on at all that morning. Needless to say, I was shocked as we all saw the news on a computer screen. Our class was canceled and I drove back to El Segundo. There was a line of cars backed up on El Segundo Blvd from the Nash Street entrance past Douglas. Cars were being searched and IDs checked. That was the first time that had ever happened. Before, we just drove into the parking lot. Ten years later, the ID checks are still going on. One good thing about it: the number of stolen cars from the parking lot now is practically nil. Before, it was several a week.
This week I am going to include some pictures of Grandma (Lois Fae Linnebach) I scanned before I went to Morro Bay. She was quite the "fashionista."
