I should clarify.. I do have a yearbook or two from Southwest and Emory... but they are in the late '90's... so they wouldn't fit your request. I happen to know you are older then dirt.

I recognize those kids as my 1956 MV classmates. The school would be IB Elementary. I was at Emory.
Where did you get the picture? I'm using Ancestry.com and my memory as best I can to try to assist Lorraine Headrick in finding sisters named Mary Ann and Carol Ziebarth. I you have any SW Jr. annuals would you take a look for them for me? Thanks.

The only Mrs. McBride I can remember taught at Southwest Junior High. She was my 9th grade English teacher and was also the teacher sponsor for the school newspaper and yearbook. She was a pretty cool teacher. I'm sure they're two different teachers because I'm thinking the Mrs. McBride I knew would have been younger than the one in your picture. Sorry I couldn't be of any help but it did bring back memories of a great teacher.

Nero was effected by "Lead" (the mineral)... and prolly Mercury. In those days they loved them some "lead".. it made the food taste good and made them feel all goody. They had no idear that it "F'd" up their mind.
Well.. they lost their mind. Nero lost his mind from it.. as did "Caligula" and prolly countless others.

Name : Emperor Max Email : Bi sexual Nero Message ![]()
Nero was born at Antium (Anzio) on 15 December AD 37 and was first named Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. He was the son of Cnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, who was descended from a distinguished noble family of the Roman republic (a Domitius Ahenobarbus is known to have been consul in 192 BC, leading troops in the war against Antiochus alongside Scipio Africanus), and Agrippina the younger, who was the daughter of Germanicus.
When Nero was two, his mother was banished by Caligula to the Pontian Islands. His inheritance was then seized when his father died one year later.
With Caligula killed and a milder emperor on the throne, Agrippina (who was emperor Claudius' niece) was recalled from exile and her son was given a good education. Once in AD 49 Agrippina married Claudius, the task of educating of the young Nero was handed to the eminent philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca.
Further to this Nero was betrothed to Claudius' daughter Octavia.
As for Nero, after he poisoned his brother Brittanicus and real heir to the throne, he ousted his Mom, and though in charge at age 17, was a cruel and unworthy ruler. He has been characterized as a bi-sexual but I didn't ever see him myself (except fromm paintings and sculptures) so it will be up to history to make that charge stick.

Your story reminds me of one my wife told me many years ago. Around 1960 she was walking west on the eastbound side of H Street near 4th in Chula Vista. A guy drove by westbound. She said he was still looking back at her when he smashed into the car ahead.

Wish I had been been pretty enough to have guys watch me walking up the sidewalk. And I probably would have looked at them and then not looked again. So I would not have run into a pole. But I was reading a book on my way home from Mar vista one day. Looking up now and then to make sure nothing was in front of me. Didn't look up fast enough once and walked right into a parked car. No sidewalks back then so was of course walking on the side of the road. I did learn my lesson. Was glad no one saw such a stupid thing. And kept my book reading at home. Cute vido.

You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won't come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...
When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...
Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...
When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,

Henry, In the days of the pioneer's most familes had two room cabins. The back room was where all the beds were. when a young suitor came to visit a girl, the father of the house would take them to the back room, put them in close but separate beds and place a huge wooden plank between them. The practice became known as 'Planking.'
Now, about the drive in theater and a cars back seat for supposedly making out. Henry, it was still instilled in young women to have a suitor meet her in the back...the back seat in this case. I don't remember if the back seats I was in had the slot for the board. However, Planking was the thing to do.
Does that help?

We lived in San Ysidro from around 1962 to 1964 before moving to Nestor. They were the best years of my life. I had the best of friends (Richardson, Osgood, Coleman and Smith families) just to name a few. It was still quaint then. We had the drugstore with the best cherry cokes and floats around. Went to the community dances and the dances at the Catholic school. I read just about every book in the library. Swam in the trailer pool all summer long. The best tortilla shop was just a block from the trailer park where we lived. My mom could buy groceries on credit and pay the bill once a month. The store was right across the street from where we lived. I could roam all over San Ysidro and feel safe (I would have been about 13-15 years old). Life was good then.

The song playing now ("You're Just Too Good To Be True") reminds me of some of the dances I use to go to...this was the one song that everyone in the room would sing along with when it was played. Even now, if I'm listening to an Oldies station on the radio, it's the one song I'll sing.
Another sing-along-time was on the bus ride home from school. On the bus ride to school (when we lived in San Ysidro and Nestor) no one said a word, everyone was still asleep. But on the way home, the bus would rock with all of us singing to the radio. It's funny, I had the same bus driver all throughout Jr. High and High School. He was rather a cool guy...I think his name was Red Ballard or something like that. He was a big, older man (at least he seemed old to us then, he was probably in his 40's - lol.) but he wasn't too strict and allowed us to have some fun.
Started with dancing but ended up talking about a bus driver. Now that's going all over the place. Nice memories, though.

You know...the Post Office gets a lot of bad press and bad impressions by the populace.
But... I don't think WE give them the credit for the HUMONGOUS task they perform.
Personally, I would be willing to compare the Post Office to ANY business or organization in the world.
The post office is not an entity unto itself.. it's composed of people.. worker bees and management bees... all human, with all the pluses and minus that comes with being human.
The Post Office... the Pony Express... here is an ad for pony express riders:
WANTED
Young, skinny, wiry fellows, not over 18.
Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily.
Orphans preferred. Wages $25 a week
"Mark Twain, who saw the Pony Express in action first hand, described a rider as: "... usually a little bit of a man". Though small in stature, their untarnished record proved them to have hearts of lions. History would record that they were among the most durable horsemen ever."

Thanks d...I was a little nervous putting the information out there although the abuse didn't come from anything like you mentioned.
However, my husband's family has an interesting soldier story right after World War II. There was a German soldier who was in a POW camp here in the states at the end of World War II. Once the war was over, the government released the POW's that were here in the states but didn't offer to help them get back to Germany. This man ended up on my father-in-law's farm as a hired hand and lived many years with the family. My husband doesn't know what happended to him.
I was reminded of that story by your soldier comment.
(I'm glad God was able to use that moment for good in your life. I love Him too.)

I'm with you, I couldn't love God if He condoned the abuse and torturing of children. I don't think the problem lies with God...it lies in the evil choices which men/women make.
I'm telling you more about myself than I really should but it might help see God in the suffering.
As a young child I suffered from some pretty gruesome abuses (which I won't go into at this time). True story...this just happened at the beginning of this past June...I asked God about those times and I asked Him where He was when those things occurred.
You're going to think I'm loony tunes but that's okay because I know the experience was real...God took me back to that time in my life and showed me where He was. At one point, I was sitting up against a wall sobbing (I must have been about 3 or 4 years old at the time) and there sat Jesus next to me with His arms around me sobbing right along with me. His face was buried in my hair. He was consoling me and saying over and over, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I intended for your life. I'm so sorry."
Unfortunately, there have been those who have done their evil deeds in the name of God but it wasn't God who inflicted the pain, it was a direct result of human choices.
I know this doesn't answer all the theological questions surrounding the "why's" but it's what I know to be true in my heart.

Well.. I don't really want to get into religion.... but, being the a-hole I am... I have to comment.
God has a "heart"??.... babies/children are being tortured and killed EVERY day!.. as I type, at this moment, there is a child being tortured and or killed somewhere.
Is that a God with a heart?.. is that a God you would want to worship?
I don't know.. I'm just a human.. a caveman.. but it seems that ordinary humans have a heart... but God?.. I'm not so sure.

I can't remember the name of the movie, but there's a movie from years ago where he escapes from prison along with a couple other convicts.

"Arsenic and Old Lace" is the correct answer. It was brilliant, complete with insanity and murder. Cary Grant's comedic timing was perfect. The elderly sisters did their best to try and outdo Grant and fairly well succeeded. The villian and his accomplice were pure evil and funny. You might be surprised, Henry.

I only remember one time "racing" if you could call it that. We had "borrowed" Ginny's dad 55 Chevy (that means we snuck out of the bedroom after her mom was asleep) I have to confess it was really, really rotten because her dad was in the hospital with back surgery....and we took it down to First street and let Bobby Lokey get behind the wheel and screeched off burning rubber all the way down toward the sloughs end. I can only remember we hit a big bump and we all knocked our heads into the ceiling of the truck. We were so bad, we weren't even old enough to have our drivers' licenses...we got away with it for months that summer until one night we were caught in the act of pushing it up Date street...by her mother. What a horrible moment. She hit the heck out of Ginny and then raised her hand to whack me one and I simpered and cowered and she backed off. She kept us up all night long lecturing us and threating to call my parents. I lied and told her it was my dad's birthday the next day and that we were leaving for vacation and it would spoil it for them. She agreed not to tell them if I agreed NOT to attend the Jr/Sr. beach party that was coming up. She never did narc on me.

I do remember those songs. I even remember some of the words to all three. I sang Chocolate Ice Cream Cone to all my babies and even to my grandbabies. When we would all be in the car going on a trip, the kids would always ask me to sing the Ice Cream song. I had somewhat of a voice way back then. There is truly nothing like the old songs. And to me the best dance music on earth was "In the Mood". Come to think of it, it still is. But I just love music period. Pretty much all kinds. Well, except RAP.

Again, I know a lot of them because my momma would sing me all the fun ones. Can you come up with "Chickory Chick?" That was my favorite song which she would sing to us kids. It'll probably make me cry like a baby just remembering. There's nothing sentimental in the song itself cuz' it's nonsensical, just good memories of my momma.

I'm very surprised that you had heard that one. I thought "Easy One" might know it.. but I didn't think a kid like you would know it.
I remember it... of course I was "knee high to a grasshoppah" at the time.. but I remember it.
I don't remember if I heard it on the radio.. or if it was something my mommy sang.

Hank, I sold my original old El Paso Courthouse two-seater 1939 shoe shine stand to a booze distributor/ collector here in 2005. I had previously bought it from a Western Nightclub that went under. I opened my shoe shine stand named , 'Tom's Shines, Boxing and Science' in June of 2001 shortly after I retired as a teacher. My stand was in a barber shop close to Cielo Vista Mall on Edgemere Street.
I didn't make much money as most people don't wear leather needed shining any more and most of the Cowboy's have disappeared. I did get some police, border patrol, and sheriff's deputies business that barely paid my overhead. However, as business picked up, the barber retired and I had to move out.
I just stuck the huge 2 seater in front of my house for a few days with a for sale sign when the collector drove by and bought it on the spot.
I miss that shoe shine stand. It was old, it was classy, and it was comfortable. Why it even had steps to walk up between the two seats. If only I could have saved it, man would it ever look good with you as the shoe shine boy at Imperial Beach.
Still, have a happy
*I have a fabulous Teakwood bar from 1960. If only you could use it for an Open Bar on the pier or therabouts. However, it is worth a hefty price and I can only imagine what the authorities would charge (If they approved) of a liquor license in California. And then there would be resistance from those already in the area with licenses. Nice thoughts anyway. Call your Congressman. Ha!!!

Name : Lollie Email : Snipe Hunt Message ![]()
Oh yes, the good ol' snipe hunt. I remember it well. The first time I heard abut snipes was in San Ysidro. Can't remember who instigated the snipe hunt...think it was Mr. Richardson (Della & Judy Richardson's dad) and Bobby Osgood. It was up on a hill by the Richardson's house on a dark and dreary night. There were several of us who had never been snipe hunting. The good news is it took me about 10 seconds to figure out it was a hoax so I headed on back to the house to wait for the less fortunate. I do remember we all had a good laugh about it.
(Henry - the premise for the snipe hunt is this: they want you to catch a bird called a snipe in a bag. Can't remember the reason they gave for catching the snipes, though. You have to stand there in the dark with your bag open while others [those who know what's really happening] chase the snipes into the bags. You're suppose to yell out, "Here snipes, here snipes!" to startle them and help herd them into the bags. The only thing is, "those in the know" go back to the house to sit and wait for those duped to figure out it's a joke.)
True story: Here in Nebraska, I told some friends about some of my grunion run experiences. One guy thought I was out of my ever-loving mind. I could not convince him it was true. He said he wouldn't fall for "grunion hunting", it sounded an awful lot like a "snipe hunt." He even got mad at me accusing me of trying to dupe him. Fortunately, I had a nature magazine at home that detailed grunion runs, complete with pictures and everything. Not until he saw the magazine did he believe me. It was a couple weeks before I could show him the magazine. In the meantime, he had told a bunch of our friends I had gone off the deep end. It was pretty funny. He was a nice guy and set the record straight.

But, word got around.. word travels fast in the teen community... and soon in became common knowledge... so you weren't foolin no girlies any more about what the Submarine Races were.
On a personal note... the first time I heard the phrase "submarine races".. I wondered how you could see them??... drive to a cliff overlooking the ocean??

I took photos of the addresses and some of the area. Couldn't get in the gates. Dang, I sure tried. It was fun going down memory road though.
Went down the windy Heritage road on the way home. There are no photos of that or I would've got killed by the truck behind me. Went down towards the quarry east at Main st (now Auto Park road) Tried to take photos but the guard came running out and chased me off. Now I feel like a spy! LOL

I went to the surplus with the same kids but the younger ones. Sages, Kilmer, Woods and Hopkins. Probably in '55 or'56's. Funny everywhere we went we travelled on the rail road tracks to get there.

Mervyns in that shopping center closed. I think the building is still there though.
Home Depot is still there.. it's been there for a long time and appears to be going strong.

Yeah it is one of those you can get good carne asada from. If you turn off Main Street just before that store going south, that road goes to the entrance of the river bottom and there's a new path made to that larger pond. I found it by accident trying to find some of the old camps. And see how far in I could go before the cement people chased me out. There used to be an old army surplus dump down there and my brother and his friends would make me climb the fence and tease the dogs while they went under the fence and get gas masks and what ever else. I always did it just to have my own gas mask. What a ditz, huh?

Kathy,
You are correct. It was down near a place where we use to get crawdads.

Do you want to go see? It's very cleaned up now. I peeked but not too far,yet.
My mom used to swim there so your dad should have gone there too. She said that's where they all went besides the beach.

The first pond is east of I 5 north and only a few hundred or less yards from the highway. In the 50's it would be north of Katslunger's and south of the Big Sky Drive in.
The second pond (larger one) is going east on main Street from I 5 on the south side of main st and west of beyer.
That beyer crosses Main Street and if you went north at that light it is called Broadway. If you go right (south) at the light, it's Beyer.
Hey if any one is as old as me or older. There was a drive in restaurant on that corner called the Hitching Post. We used to hitch our horsed on that post and get the best milkshakes.
I think they were a quarter then.
Dang that wioll certainly age some one here.

I understood that the kids were murdered near the gravel pit, west of I5.

My memory places it on the west side of I5, north of Mervyns(gone)/Home Depot, south of Swiss Park. Is it still there or whereever?

Weren't those poor boys killed on the same side of I-5 that Mervyn's is on?
That's what I always thought.

The gravel I recall and have fished at was just south of the Big Sky Drive-in Theater.

The only gravel pit I remember back in the 5o's, was across the road from the Kastlunger dairy.

PAW,
The kids you referred to I believe were killed on the other side of the freeway.

We stopped riding in the (Tiajuana) River bottom 'cause of the 'Squitos. One of our friends Got a deadly disease(encyphalitusI know that's the name but can't figure how to spell it), from a mosquito bite.
But did ride a lot before that in both river bottoms. Don't mean to bug you but I am just killing time. Have to go chase taxi's in 30 minutes. You and your family have a good nite.

You've got it pegged perfectly. OK the first pond is right off the I 5 south exit fromP alm Ave. On the right there is the golf putting range, then lots of trees (pond is right there) I has some good fishing too. Right past that is the nursery. They have made a walking path now from 19th(what ever it's called now) north of the old Macy's and Home Depot.
The second one is South of Main St C.V.
Just before the first Beyer. I can't remember the name of the back street where I turned right to the entrancxe.
It's now gated but open during the day. It's the larger of the two ponds.
They are still working an the paths but they do lead into both ponds. I'm wanting to walk the path and get as much as I can take as many Photos as I can. I'm getting pretty fast walking the border Thought I was getting too old to walk so much, but it's happening the opposite. I'm thanking God for that.
I went up Spooner's Mountain a couple months ago and was cought by border patrol. He had swept the dirt and I dorve over it and made him mad. He had to go back to work and fix it. He wasn't thinking that I had to drive over it again to leave. LOL

Okay, I guess I've got it now. You are NOT talking about the river bottom way down south on 19th at the cliffs near the border, right?
You ARE talking about the river bottom east of 805 between Main and Palm, right?
Going east on Main it turns into Otay Valley Road east of 805. When you get to the water park the road turns to the right and goes uphill and passes the entrance to where they have concerts and goes up to the auto junk yards and 905.
When you reach 905 you turn left and go about 1/2 mile to Cactus.
Now, where is that water pond you were talking about?
Sorry I'm being such a nuscience(sp?) here.

The river bottom I know is from 19th street between Main St, C.V. and Palm Ave.
It runs all the east from 19th and is endless We only traveled east as far as just south of the OMAR Rendering plant. Back then the Otay Ranch was fenced in several places. I'll elaborate more if needed but right now it's time for my Baja breakfast
