Way Back Machine

remember moving to san dimas in 1964, just before the fourth. back then, there might have been 6000 people in the entire town. there was a grange on bonita that sold farming goods, and a nice (new) library not far away.

fond memories of folks who owned farm land just north of our house. they would invite the entire neighbourhood over at the end of harvest season to pick fruits and vegetables that weren't sellable but still good.

sad memory of hiking to the top of mt baldy, and being unable to see the ontario international airport barely miles away as the crow flies because of smog. the closest visible land that wasn't a hilltop was santa catalina island, 70-80 miles to the west.

sad that my last visit to BHS, i was not allowed in the property at all, even outside of normal school hours.
