Was scribe, lesson: never send the platoon to breakfeast late and then say it was SSGT Hedlunds fault for giveing the wrong chow times to type up. What an experience that was. Loved the Marine Corp. Now in the MCL. God Bless the Marines

Zeb's Boat House in Santa Ana was a favorite of mine! I loved the crowds there and you couldn't beat the "Rats" that crawled late at night on the floor of the place! Kims Place II was another favorite there! Keno's Restaurant in Tustin was a great place to eat! Mario was the host there, Linda was the hostess. Vivina was hostess for a long time prior to leaving. Tina worked as a waitress there for many years! In the lounge we had Linda S who was the lovely bartender!

T.J., Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Black Beach...beaches everywhere! Did anyone ever go to Zeb's Boathouse in Santa Ana? Little Mexico, Little VietNam, chasing cops in Tustin....did I say that out loud? The "Nut" Room in Tustin, Venice, Deserts and beaches a few minutes away, Orange County Raceway, Skiing a couple hours away....celebrites, movie stars and everyone has an angle! Don't forget KnottsBerry Farm!

Yep. Hollywood sucked alright......

Don't forget Saddleback Inn (where I got my nickname from), a great place for evening entertainment and a place where the Marines would go at night on the weekends. Great bands for a long time until the ownership decided they didn't like Marines and put a piano and other slow entertainment there!
