Volume 48 - No. 25
By Pete Peterson
World War Two is over. Harry Truman is president. The much promised business upswing is Missing in Action. A storm of the century destroys farms, crops and roads. In the middle of this turmoil, my brother struggles to get Dad to a hospital after Dad’s paralyzing stroke.
After three days of hard rain that turned shallow creeks into raging rivers, washed out roads and overflowed farm ponds the morning of January 10, 1949 broke frigid, with The The Paper Paper -- 760.747.7119 760.747.7119

a gunmetal gray sky spitting BBsized sleet and a west wind that snapped off tree limbs and cut through winter clothes like a needle. Harry Truman is president. World War II is over. It’s hard scrapple time in the Missouri Ozarks, the promised post-war boom Missing In Action. The wind whips the elm tree beside our house as I bundle up on the back porch for the three-mile trek to school. An Army surplus overcoat, three buckle rubber boots, a wool cap with ear muffs, and a prayer that the rain stops falling.
My older brother, Forrest, up and out at 4 a.m. to tend his trap line, pulls on dry overalls and a wool shirt, wolfs down bacon and oatmeal, then crosses the yard in long strides. “Whatcha waitin’ on, Asshole, Christmas?” He’s all ears, elbows, and feet. His name is on the board at W.A. Rootes Wool & Fur in Tebbetts, showing a payment of $45.00 for the mink he caught, skinned and sold them. Money that bought our winter clothes. He’ll turn fourteen in February. Uncle Jim, Momma's brother,
who’s lived with us since before she died, taps my shoulder. "Johnston's dead. Beauregard needs ya." Family lore says he was seven when he held horses at the Civil War Battle of Shiloh, in April 1862. That makes him eighty-seven if my arithmetic’s right. In high school I learned General Johnston, who commanded Confederate forces in that long-ago fight with the Feds, was killed the first day, and General P.G.T. Beauregard replaced him. Uncle Jim will take memories of that fierce battle to his grave, I reckon.

Bacon grease caught fire while Dad cooked breakfast this morning. He snuffed it out with baking powder and salt but breathed in blue smoke which set him to coughing, his face red, wheezing to get his breath. I cleaned the skillet and finished frying the bacon. Dad’s hacking follows me as I chase after Forrest. Crows, just black specks against the gray sky, their caws blown away by the wind, head for roost in the cottonwoods behind our spring. Snow birds and chickadees flit after the seeds our boots kick free from the frozen grass.
The log footbridge across Layer Creek is washed away, so we cross by jumping from boulder-to-slippery rock, chunks of ice swirling at our feet in the fast-moving water. “Don’t fall, Turd,” Forrest says. “You’ll poison the fish.” *** At school, coats steam beside the coal stove in the one room school house, the smell of wet wool filling the air. Most desks are empty. Most school mates’ parents aren’t as strict as our Dad about school attendance. “If the school’s open, you’ll be there,” he says. Nervous eyes watch through schoolhouse windows as sleet turns to snow, painting trees and bushes white. At first recess, we stay inside and play "I Spy." Lunch is corn bread and bacon at our desks.
Give Us This Day Our Daily Chuckle This week, a compendium of wit, wisdom and neat stuff you can tell at parties. Enjoy!
My 12 year old daughter asked me, "Mom, do you have a baby picture of yourself? I need it for a school project." I gave her one without thinking to ask what the project was. A few days later I was in her classroom for a parent-teacher meeting when I noticed my face pinned to a mural the students had created.
The title of their project was: "The oldest thing in my house." Some art appreciates faster than others
A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called and asked to speak to his client. "Saul, I have some good news and I have some bad news."
The art collector replied, "You know, I've had an awful day, Jack, so let's hear the good news first."
An eighth grader braves the weather to bring water from the well. “Snow's up to a cow's tits,” he says. We laugh. The teacher, Mrs. Maddox, says, “The weather may be foul, but we need not use such language to describe it.”
During fourth grade arithmetic, the big maple next to the girl’s privy screams a death song as it’s black roots open a deep wound in the soft dirt, heavy limbs crashing to the ground. If it fell the other way, the school house would be rubble. Mrs. Maddox, her face pale, her lips thin, steps out on the porch. Angry clouds roil the western sky. "Weather’s getting worse,” she says. “I’ll dismiss you now. Go straight home. Don’t lollygag. No snow ball fights. Straight home, you hear. School is out until the storm’s over." Forrest and I head for home, necks bowed against the wind. At Lal Hord's store, Dad's whistle stops us. After his coughing spell this morning, I didn’t expect to see him in town. The groceries he’s bought are piled on the store porch, along with a fifty-pound bag of dog food and pair of 2-gallon coal oil cans. “You get matches?" Forrest asks. Around Dad, his words are few, like he buys each thought with a muskrat or raccoon pelt.
"Yeah," Dad says. "Long winter storm comin’. Creeks are flooded. We’ll have to go home by way of The lawyer said, "Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she has invested only $5,000 in two very nice pictures that she thinks will bring somewhere between $15 and $20 million ... and I think she could be right."
Saul replied enthusiastically, "Holy cow! Well done! My wife is a brilliant business woman, isn't she? You've just made my day. Now, I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?" The lawyer replied, "The pictures are of you and your secretary......" Lunch with the Pope...
President Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht. The Pope accepted and during lunch a puff of wind blew the Pontiff's hat off, right Into the water. It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just floated in place.
The crew and the Secret Service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get it, when Trump waved them off, saying, "Never mind boys, I'll get it."
Then Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to the hat, picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed into the yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.
The crew was speechless. The security team and the Pope's entourage were speechless. No one knew what to say, not even the Pope. But that afternoon, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC reported: "TRUMP CAN'T SWIM”
the hog barns." He swings the grocery sack to his back. Forrest shoulders the dog food. I grab the coal oil cans. We're off. Sleet stings my face, melts and trickles down my collar, soaking my shirt. At the top of Huffmaster's Hill, I set the coal oil cans down and rub life back in my shoulders and hands. "Bring any books home?" Dad’s face is red, his voice hoarse. "Nope."
"Wish you had. Like hearin’ you read." "Your cough’s gone?" I’ve worried about him all day.
"Yeah. But, picked up a headache." He picks up an oil can.
"You can't carry everything," I say. "Gimme the groceries."
I'm sure he won't, since I'm only nine and he's oak-tree strong. "Okay. But only to the fence. I'll feel better then."
Did I hear right or did the wind jumble his words? *** Our route is along the ridge line, dipping down to a small creek what we call a branch – then follows an old logging road to the hog barns four miles west. From there, we’ll cut through a stand of ash and oaks and climb a small hill to our
house. Dad and I trudge too slow for Forrest; he’s a moving shadow among persimmon sprouts and snowflakes to our front. I struggle like an ant under a leaf with the grocery sack and coal oil can. The only sounds are Dad's heavy breathing, the suck of boots in the mud, and the wind tearing at tree limbs. The swirling snow, the gray sky, the wind in our face makes it hard to see the path. There's gotta be a better way, I think. Can we stow some stuff and come get it later? The usually small branch we must cross is a wild and raging creek. Dad wades in and scrambles out on the other side, soaking his overalls to his waist. Doesn't he know we're still a long way from home? I cross on a log pile, with whitecapped water cutting into the red clay bank. Dad waits for me on a small knoll. When I come up, he says, “Think Jim kept a fire goin’? Once a man, twice a child, Dad says of Uncle Jim, who was a blacksmith before he got old. I hope today he left Shiloh and built a fire in the woodstove.
If hard work was food we’d eat beef steak and coconut cake every day, because Dad’s up before the sun to fix fences, cut brush, re-shingle barn roofs, feed or castrate hogs and do hundreds of other chores. This

My name is Alice, and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS Diploma on the wall, which bore his full name.
Within 5 minutes a beat-up old motorcycle pulled up, driven by a bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag.
Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on way back then?
He said, " Sure".
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my school class some 40 years ago. Upon seeing him, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, grayhaired man, with the deeply lined face, was way too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School. “Yes”, he said. “I am a Mustang” he gleamed with pride. “When did you graduate?” I asked.
He answered “in 1967. Why do you ask?” “You were in my class”, I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely, then this ugly, old, bald, wrinkle-faced, fat-assed, grayhaired, decrepit, son-of-a-bitch asked me.......... “What did you teach?” When God sends help, don't ask questions
She hurried to the pharmacy to get medication, got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys inside.
The woman found an old rusty coat hanger left on the ground. She looked at it and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her some HELP.
He got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said: "Yes, my daughter is sick. I've locked my keys in my car. I must get home. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was open.
She hugged the man and through tears said, "Thank You, God, for sending me such a very nice man."
The man heard her little prayer and replied, "Lady, I am NOT a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday; I was in prison for car theft." The woman hugged the man again, sobbing, "Oh, thank you, God! You even sent me a Professional!" The Coyote Principle
CALIFORNIA
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural. He calls animal control.

Carlsbad Republican Women to Welcome Heidi Hill of Birth Choice - On Tuesday, June 26th, the Carlsbad Republican Women Federated (CRWF) club welcomes Heidi Hill, President and CEO of Birth Choice, a pro-life non-profit organization that provides resources and counseling for women and men facing unplanned pregnancy. Ms. Hill will address the mission of birth choice and will also feature the Women’s Mobile Unit. CRWF members eager to learn more about this valuable North County service will be collecting much needed diapers to support Birth Choice. Founded in 1987, Birth Choice is a non-profit, Christian-based Pregnancy Resource Center that offers free support services in a confidential and compassionate environment to women facing a crisis pregnancy. The organization operates two care centers (Oceanside and San Marcos) that offer verification, classes on parenting and prenatal care, sexual integrity education, and after-abortion recovery.

spring, he planted five acres of corn. At harvest time, rain and an early snow made the field too wet for our mules to gather the yield.
To salvage what he could, after the ground froze, Dad would harness Jim and Jude, hook them to the wagon, and pick stubby ears of corn by flickering lantern light. When the landlord tallied the costs for seed, manure, mule, wagon rental and any other expense, real or imagined he could think of he handed Dad $14.00. In one-dollar bills. Two days before Christmas. When the Boss Man drove off in his new Buick, Dad extended his hands. Blood oozed from a callus, his right thumb purple and swollen. “Work with these S.O.B.’s and they treat you like a S.O.B. Pay attention in school, boy.”
Summer time, things are easier. Dad raises a good garden, with tomatoes, Bibb lettuce, radishes, green onions, potatoes and cabbage. Forrest and I catch fish - perch, catfish and crappie - from Layer Creek or a neighbor’s pond. We pick blackberries down by the creek and gooseberries from wild bushes along the garden fence and scour the woods for Morel mushrooms. Forrest brings home acorn-fat squirrels he killed with his single shot .22 rifle. Still, most of the time we eat corn bread, navy beans and bacon, Karo syrup and oatmeal.

Dad usually has a pack of Walker fox hounds ready to run, but now he’s down to only three. He could sell every dog he breeds, but he gives most of them away. It’s also a rare day went a neighbor doesn’t come calling asking Dad to doctor a cow, administer to a sick hog, or help a mare foal. He’s usually paid in promises, but sometimes with jars of home-canned goods or a live chicken. The closest electricity is four miles away. Water comes from a spring, brought to the house in barrels twice a month. When nature calls, there’s a 2-hole privy out past the wood lot. Mom died Christmas, 1941, leaving Dad with six kids, two in diapers. Forrest was eight. I was thirty months. The three older girls - fourteen, thirteen and twelve - escaped to the shoe factory in Fulton when they turned fifteen. A married sister took our youngest sister,13 months, to raise as her own. Our two older brothers are in the army, so the Three Pete’s - Pete, Repete and Little Pete - as we’re known, sharecrop 80 acres four miles northwest of Tebbetts, in Callaway County, Missouri.
Tonight, the snow’s so thick, the path so slippery, the grocery sack so heavy, I’m ready to fall. As come up on the knoll, Dad’s blue eyes roll back in his head, his face turns the color of buttermilk, his left hand pushes the wind. He gurgles, and flops face down in the snow. I get dizzy and almost fall. "Dad! Dad!"

What happened? Why won’t he answer? I want to pee, puke and move my bowels at the same time. Then, like I’m watching a picture show, a kid who resembles me, strips off his overcoat and runs to a walnut tree fifty feet away. He grabs two tree limbs and pushes them through the arm holes of his coat, fastens the buttons and races back to Dad. Using this make-shift stretcher, this idiot tugs, pulls and cusses until Dad’s back rests against the tree trunk.
The movie ends, and it’s me racing down the slick path to a stand of trees where I last saw Forrest. I follow his boot prints into a stand of scrub oak and hickory trees. A bag of dog food is on a stump. He must be checking the trap he set here last week. He answers my whoop, but it’s hours before he comes up. "Dad's down. Can't walk. Or talk."
Forrest frowns. "How'd he get drunk so fast?"
"He ain’t. He's dying. I got him under the walnut tree at the branch."
Forrest doesn't call me turd or ass hole or Baby Sister, like usual. He grabs the dog food. "Go, boy." *** Using the overcoat stretcher, we drag Dad to the fence line where sprouts and undergrowth give some protection from the freezing wind. Forrest cuts sassafras and persimmon limbs with his pocket knife

and weaves them through the fence to form a lean-to. I rake leaves into a heap, pile on cedar boughs, then spread the dog food over this. We roll Dad onto his jerry-rigged bed and cover him with our coats. I run for the other coal oil can and groceries.
I’m scared. Tears freeze on my cheeks. "Cough hurt his heart?" "Worse. His brain, probably," Forrest says. His freckles swim in blood where a tree limb cut his right cheek. He splashes coal oil on tree bark and strikes a match. When his fire flames we see Dad’s ice-gray face. "We orphans?" I ask. "If he dies." "Will he?" "Mebbe."
I wipe snot off Dad’s face with my shirt sleeve. He stirs and mumbles. "I don't want to be an orphan." "Reckon no one does."
Forrest touches my arm. "Ya gotta run for help." Then, he does something he's never done before, or since. He kisses me. *** I don't think. I just run. Uphill and down. Past brooding cedars,

The Paper • Page 4 • June 21, 2018 Former Escondido Trustee Frogozo has Felony Reduced to Misdemeanor
Superior Court Harry Elias granted a request by former Escondido elementary school trustee Jose Fragozo to both reduce his felony conviction to a misdemeanor and to end his probation. Fragozo had pleaded guilty to one felony count of voter fraud in August 2016 and was sentenced to three years of probation, fines and work service. At the time, Vista Superior Court Judge Harry Elias had left open the possibility of reducing the conviction if Fragozo complied with those conditions. The district attorney’s office confirmed to the judge that Fragozo had not violated any terms of the probation. Given that, the judge decided to grant both requests. Fragozo was accused of lying about where he lived in order to win a seat in the newly established voting district, and faced 13 felony counts including perjury, false voter registration and filing false election documents. The former school trustee had warred with other school board members and administrators, and was subject to a restraining order by
Superintendent Ibarra.

Fragozo stepped down as a condition of the plea deal, and Orange Glen High School teacher Doug Paulson was elected to an open seat.
During the past year and eight months, Fragozo complied with a court order to repay $26,512 to the school district. That payment was made as reimbursement for compensation and benefits he received as a trustee. Vista Approves Medical Marijuana Measure to go to the Voters
It’ll be up to Vista voters to determine if medical marijuana will be available for sale in Vista, thanks to the vote by the The Vista City Council last week. The initiative(s) woud also allow testing laboratories, and would levy taxes on those businesses. The City Marijuana Business Initiative would permit up to three retailers to sell medical marijuana. It wouldn’t allow storefront sales, but would permit those retailers to sell through delivery only. The initiative would also allow two mari-
"I barely knew the guy," I said.
"Tough luck," says the cop. "You're his next of kin."
A very short time later I learn this guy left $14 million dollars. To me, his 'next of kin.' I went home and told my wife, "I can't take this. It just isn't right."
Man About Town A Great Story . . .
I have a very good friend who told me a story trecently that almost made my teeth fall out (and they're real, not falsies)!
My friend has been sober for 45 years and does a lot of work for AA.
"One evening this guy comes in, a drunk; I gave him my card and said, 'the only thing you need from this card is my phone number and name. If you ever need help, call me, night or day.'
Two months later he gets a call from a police station. "This guy was found dead and among his personal effects was this business card with your name and number and you're listed as 'next of kin.'
Wife said, "Why don't you give it a 12 month time line and diligently search for any legitimate next of kin." I did just that.
Nine months later I located a distant nephew of the guy, living the the San Francisco area.
I called him and told him the story. "Say that again?" he says. "You've inherited $14 million," sez me.
I arranged for the funds to be transferred. Just three months before the deadline would have expired and I would have 'inherited' all the money. The long lost nephew didn’t even know his uncle.
Then, if you can believe this, the sonofabitch sues me for $6000! He said I had taken $6000 from the estate.
I went to my attorney; he said, 'give me $500 and I'll take care of this.' I did, he did, and the rest is history."
I told my pal he should have kept the money (he doesn't need it. He sold his business for multi-millions). He could have distributed all $14 million to
juana testing laboratories to operate in Vista. The City Marijuana Tax Initiative, would place a 5 percent business tax on marijuana sales and production. Each of the three potential pot delivery dealers would generate about $84,000 per year in taxes, the city estimated. The council voted 4 to 0, with Councilwoman Amanda Rigby absent, to approve placing those measures on the ballot. Escondido Passes City Budget
The Escondido City Council on Wednesday approved a 2018-19 budget that calls for appropriations of just over $195 million for all operating funds, including $102 million for the general fund operating budget.
The budget passed on a 3-1 vote with Councilmember Olga Diaz voting no and Deputy Mayor John Masson being absent
Mayor Sam Abed praised the council and city staff for presenting a balanced budget for the eighth year in a row but warned of a deficit likely coming due to increased pensions and the cost of doing business.
worthwhile non-profits - so much of that money could have gone to solve so many problems . . . or at least help out.
Were it to happen to me? I'd keep the money and do exactly what I outlined above. I don't need that much money. I'm comfortable financially (oh, I might keep $500K or $1 million for myself. Just for giggles. Maybe), so I would distribute it all to charity. I can't believe the guy in San Francisco suing my pal. Amazing, the kinds of people we have on this planet Some good, some great, some pure assholes. ••••• GOAAAAAL!
Things have a habit of coming around several times.
Received a phone call and subsequent email with a request to publish a legal notice for a Fictitious Business Name. The client? NCYSA. North County Youth Soccer Association. That rang a bell with me.
Have any idea who founded NCYSA? It was ME! (He said modestly).
It was around 1975 or 76. A neighbor, Rolf Krause, a friend, Jack Wood, and a guy from Argentina (sorry, don’t recall his name) were recruited to serve on the board of directors as they had all played soccer and understood the game. I knew it was a game with a ball and you were supposed to kick it. That’s about the extent of my knowl-

Father’s Day Memories
Lyle; Your lead story by Friedrich Gomes got this ninetygenarian to remembering his dad. My father's family escaped from the "old country" in 1896, when he was twelve years old. He knew no English and dropped out of first grade to go to work to help support his family.
Fast forward to around 1930 when he had a family of his own, including a nine year old "varmint" who asked too many questions - That

edge at the time.
My late father-in-law, Hughie Holden, a product of bonnie Scotland, was visiting and we took him a championship Little League game in which my eldest son, Scott, participated, (and made the final out, playing shortstop, to seal the win). As we were joyously leaving the field I asked Hughie, “so, Hughie, what do you think of the American game of baseball.” “Aye,” he said, in his heavy Scots brogue, “what they boys need is a soccer pitch.” And thus the idea, and the NCYSA, was born.
We ran NCYSA for, I believe, six years. We attended coaches clinics, worked with the kids and had a couple of championship seasons (because of the talented kids, not because of the coaches).
Many, many happy memories. All the kids are grown now. Indeed, the lady that submited the Fictitious Business Name may well have played in NCYSA herself. Not sure if I coached her or not, but I may have. We coached a couple of girl’s teams along with the late Larry Littlefield, former columnist for the old Times Advocate. One benefit of growing old - a lot of great memories come rushing back.

through buck brush and dark scrub oaks like I’m chasing fly balls at Sportsman’s Park where my beloved Cardinals play baseball.

Too scared to think, I jump, my arms flailing as I dog paddle in the filthy stew. A log snags my overalls. I go under. I claw to the surface, gasping for breath, only to sink again. I flail and kick. My feet touch something. A fence. I grab a fence post, yank free of the log and pull myself to shallow water, struggle up a buck brush covered slope to a pasture. The logging road is barely visible under snow and slosh. I slip and slide two or more miles to Hord’s store. There, Polly Burre and Herb Stahl, two WWII vets, buy storm supplies. Polly’s a fox hunter, Herb plays center field on the town baseball team. They listen to my scrambled words. Polly hands me pencil and paper. “Draw a map.” I catch a glimpse of myself in a display glass. Mud-caked face. One bare foot. No cap. Overalls torn. My hands shake. The pencil makes dim lines. Polly hold my masterpiece to the light. "We'll find them. Let’s get you in dry clothes." Polly’s house is behind the store. His wife Gertie takes one look at
me and pours hot water in a wash tub on the back porch. While I scrape away leaves and grit, Polly changes into duck hunting clothes, pulls the tarp off the jeep he’s been restoring, gases up and bounces off. *** Gertie feeds me fried ham and potato cakes. When I speak, she shushes me, sniffles into her handkerchief and hands me a ginger snap. We listen to Beulah and Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. I think of Forrest and Dad as the storm rages. Dad can’t walk or talk. Forrest is cold and wet. He has no moon or North Star to mark their location, no red fox bark to mimic, no night birds rustle the bushes, only the hiss of green wood smoldering on a flickering fire, sleet pelting sassafras leaves and strong trees crashing to the ground all around them. Polly and Herb have a hard five mile drive over a muddy road to the hog barns. Then they’ll cross a flooded pasture, pass through a stand of junipers, dodge old brush piles and stumps to the fence line where Forrest and Dad wait. My unreliable map is their only guide.
Why didn’t I go with them? Does the Jeep have good tires? Will Forrest see their head lights and run out to meet them, or will his feet be so cold he can’t walk? Whatever happened, must have been the right thing, because the two greatest generation men got Dad into the jeep, then drove thirty miles over snowy roads to the hos-
pital in Fulton, like they were liberating Europe, in a restored army Jeep with no windshield or heater and west wind so sharp it snapped hair off at the scalp. *** Ten days later, Dad, his right side paralyzed, his words jumbled by the stroke, left the hospital. He survived because a loyal son stayed beside him during a blizzard, rubbed his feet and arms to keep blood circulating, spread hot ashes over him to ward of frost and held him close when the Jeep jolted over rocks and ruts.
One of the few times Forrest and I ever spoke of that night, he said once he dozed off. Dad rolled onto the fire, snuffing it out. "It was a bitch gettin' it goin' again, with wet wood and damp matches. But I'll tell you, Little Sister, baloney roasted over an open fire is good chow. If you're starved." *** Our older brother, Russell, came home on emergency leave from the Army. He didn’t know Dad was at the hospital in Fulton, so he braved the raging storm to the house, bringing Uncle Jim and the dogs to safety. Now, I follow him down a snowy path to the old house. When Forrest was asked if he wanted to come, his answer was, "I didn't lose nothing there." As we walk through snow drifts past tall oaks and stubby persimmon sprouts, Russ says, "We’ll move you to town. The Ol’ Man can't live here paralyzed."
I have questions galore. Who will I live with? Where will I go to school? Can I play baseball? I don’t ask, I just walk. Russ says, "I gave the hounds to Polly. The least we can do, after all he did for us." That's okay with me. Polly’s wife bakes good ginger snaps.
Russ continues. "Uncle Jim gonna live with a cousin. He needs more care than he can get from us." I didn't know Uncle Jim had other family. Will he have a wood stove to sleep behind, hunkered against the wall, the ghosts of Shiloh to talk with? I ask, "Dad's cough cause his stroke?"
"Docs say a blood clot on the left side of his brain was the cause. That’s all I know." *** Inside, the house a window pane blew out in the storm filling the room with snow. Our furniture looks old and crippled. The ceiling wallpaper bulges like a nasty blister. The smell of mice and rats is strong. I put Indian arrowheads into a box with my ball glove and Dad's razor and shaving mug. Outside, the elm tree that shaded the back porch is shreds its limbs scattered under the snow. Dad's cherry trees are black sticks in the white landscape. The cedar tree beside the smoke house

stands green and regal against the blue sky. Russ says, "When I was here the other day, snow and ice bent it almost to the ground. Now, look how straight it is."
I smile. It reminds me of Forrest. Bends, but doesn’t break. I head for the car, carrying my cardboard box of belongings. *** Some fifty years later, my son Matt and I visited Forrest. He took us to the American Legion club. Everyone shook his hand.
“Most of these old boys can’t afford three squares,” he said. “I buy ‘em breakfast and coffee. If one of ‘em puts a beer or a shot on my tab, who gives a shit?”
A former Marine, he’s wheelchair bound, a leg lost to diabetes. His hair is white and fine. His nose big. He pulls me to his chest. He smells of donuts. “Somethin’ I never told you about that night, Little Sister. At the hospital, a nurse brought me the Old Man’s clothes. A sack fell out. Had two hundred and nine bucks in it. Cost 185 smackeroos to get him released. When I asked him what the money was for, the best I could make out, said he planned to buy an acre of ground for $250.00 and start a dog kennel.” Forrest throws his head back and roars. “Hell, we almost went from share croppers to land owners. Won’t that a been a hoot?” Money Talk
Fresh off the farm, his daddy disabled from a stroke, a nine-year old Missouri boy learns first-hand the power and lasting effects of money.
Dad's stroke paralyzed his right side, jumbled his speech and exiled him to the rocking chair. My older brother and I – the last of a brood that once numbered ten - batched with him on eighty acres of rocks and red clay in the Missouri Ozarks. As the youngest boys, we were farmed out to relatives. A married sister, barely nineteen, drew the short straw and got me. I was nine.
The one-room schools I'd attended until then, had more hogs and dogs laying in the dust under the floor rafters, than text books inside. The teachers, usually young and female, gladly conceded class room control to farm-strong, bookadverse young men in exchange for an injury-free existence. Belching contests, fist fights and arm rasslin’ dominated the day, relegating such mundane subjects as mathematics, geography and science to the unknown. I hardly knew Sis. She’d escaped our no electricity, no running water, share-cropping life for a city job when she was sixteen. I’d seen
her twice in those 3 years. The first time, Dad took us to Central Dairy for ice cream, and then last night in the hospital lobby while she and Hubby set down the rules I’d have to abide by living with her: Go to school and pay $10 a month rent. I had no idea how to raise what seemed to me, an impossible sum of money. The only green back dollars I’d ever handled were two wrinkled dollar bills a lady shoved at me, then grabbed the five-gallon bucket of hand-picked blackberries I was trying to sell her and closed the door in my face. The only other time I ever had a dime was twice a year when Dad’s crops went to market.
The metropolis where Sis lived – population 7,000 – made my head ache. The seemingly never-ending stream of speeding cars, blaring horns and blinking traffic lights, turned my legs to Jell-O and tangled my tongue. When I dared to venture outside, I’d get lost. The mere thought of attending school in the monstrous, two-story brick building Sis dragged me to for fourth grade, caused me to sweat.
My clodhopper shoes, bib overalls and asafetida bag, a sure-fire way to ward off colds, got me a split lip and black eye my first day at school. My new teacher was dismayed that I couldn't write cursive, or recite the capitols of our then forty-eight states. On Friday of the first week, she handed me a paper with multiplication tables into the Twenties. “Memorize these,” she said. I did, but from that day on, math has remained a mystery. Let’s understand, Sis didn’t exactly sit under a marmalade tree and sip sweet tea. Up before the sun, she'd fix breakfast, clean our apartment (dust bunnies went under her bed to die), then trudge eight blocks to a ten-hour shift as a seamstress at a dry cleaner. Every Monday, a head scarf tied over her wavy brown hair, carrying the clothes basket with both arms, she’d lug Hubby's greasy work uniforms and my dirty clothes to a Laundromat some five blocks away, then trudge home, our laundry washed and folded.
Sis bought three-day-old bread for dime a loaf, and eggs six at a time, carefully counting out her pennies and nickels. Often, she’d bring alteration jobs home from work and hand-stitch them late into the night.
She had her hands full with Hubby as well. With deep blue eyes and curly black hair that not even Wild Root Cream Oil could tame, he charmed the ladies with his white teeth and quick wit. He could repair any car of any malady, often with just a screw driver and pliers. He also possessed an unquenchable thirst for cold beer and red whiskey. His 'runs', as Sis called his drinking sprees, only ended with him in jail.

Racing memories prevail this time of year, beginning with the Indy 500 on Memorial Day and the Monaco F-1 also in May, soon followed by The 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 21st. and 22nd. I attended my first Indy 500 in 1952 with my life-long friend, Jerry Moen of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We watched Troy Ruttman jam his 6 foot plus frame in to the last of the roadsters. At age 22 he was the youngest driver to win the Indy. My fondest racing memory happened in 1993 when we rendezvoused with friends, Jerry and Mary K. Moen, in Tours, France for the 24 Hours of Le Mans tour led by Grand Prix Tours. The excursion was led by Phil Hill, who won the event in 1958, 1960, 1961, and later became the World Champion F-1 Driver in a Ferrari. Phil was the first American born driver to win the F-1 World Championship. He was truly a great driver and a class act. I had the privilege of attending a number of tours and races with him. Our seats for the race were with Phil Hill, situated at the start-finish line. He took us into the pits before the race. Since our seats were next to him we got the inside story on everything. While on the subject of Le Mans let’s take a peek at this week’s mystery car, which was America’s first sports car, and it finished 3rd. at Le Mans in 1952, behind two factory sponsored Mercedes Benz 300 SLs. The attractive body work on these cars was by Pininfarina of Italy. There were only 506 produced.

The I-15 Nightmare
Traveling I-15 in North San Diego/SW Riverside can be a nightmare. The distance between Temecula and Escondido is only a little over 30 miles, but during rush hour the trip can take well over an hour. From Deer Springs Road to Old Highway 395, Rice Canyon Road to Pala, rush-hour congestion is the norm. Causes include population growth in San Diego and southwest Riverside Counties and the fact that gas taxes and truck weight fees are continuously siphoned away to the general fund rather than expanding roads. My bill, AB X1 14, mandates monies collected for road improvements are used as promised. I also support the Traffic Relief and Road Improvement Act this year. The bill provides $5.6 billion for transportation, without raising taxes.
With continued growth in Riverside County, and with thousands of new homes approved or under construction in Fallbrook, Bonsall, etc., I-15 is simply not adequate for current or projected traffic. But there is a local solution. The San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) updates its regional plan every four years, with the next update scheduled for 2019. Under current plans, lane expansions to I15, are on the backburner. Since those plans can be changed next year -- now is the time to make our voices heard and make this a priority in our regional planning. SANDAG needs to hear from all of us about the importance of this issue for our region. Please send letters, petitions or emails detailing your concerns about I-15 traffic to me at the address below: Assemblymember Marie Waldron 350 W 5th Ave, Suite 110 Escondido, CA 92025
Email: Assemblymember.waldron@assembly.ca.gov Fax: (760) 480-7516 By working together and with SANDAG, we can make upgrading I-15 a priority. Let’s get traffic moving again!

Sis would pay his fine and drag him home, nurse him back to health with ice cream and tomato juice, but when the shakes where gone he’d climb on a bar stool at some watering hold and the drink-jail-bailout cycle would repeat.
With any hope at meeting my rent obligation, I needed a job. Fast. A classmate took me to the local newspaper office, hoping I’d snag a paper route. The manager’s first question was, "Got a bike?" "Nope."
"No bike, no route. But, you could sell subscriptions. I’ll pay you fifty cents for each one sold. A hustler like you can make three, four dollars a week."
Visions of a mansion for Sis and a warm winter coat danced before my eyes. Quick, before he could change his mind, I agreed. "Deal."
The next day, red-faced and trembling, I knocked on my first door. When the resident answered my timid rap, I quickly mumbled my sales talk. I did this with such frequency and so pitifully enough kind-hearted folks took pity on me and subscribed. My first week I proudly handed Sis four dollars and fifty cents. Cash. My first foray into unimagined wealth.
A month or so later, one Sunday evening, Sis and Hubby came home together. Tears rimming her blue eyes, brown freckles marching across her white face, she pointed me to a seat at the kitchen table. “I absolutely have to have an extra ten dollars from you by Saturday. No ifs, ands or buts. You got that?” She didn’t say why she needed such a small fortune, and I didn’t ask. Hubby had been ‘good’ for several weeks, so it was probably to pay off one of his earlier escapades. The only way I knew to raise such an enormous amount of money since I had no gun to rob a bank, was to sell more subscriptions. The Circulation Manager agreed, and eagerly drove me to residential neighborhoods every afternoon after school that week.
When a lady answered my knock, I'd smile, hand her a newspaper, and say, "Here's your free gift, ma'am. A year’s subscription is less than a nickel a day. You’ll learn home town and national news, find what’s on television” - an innovation making its first impact on American life – “ and every Friday, our Home Section prints three delicious new recipes your family will love. Best of all, you pay weekly, only after you’ve had a chance to determine how indispensable our paper is to you. All I need today is your name, address and twenty-five cents administrative costs." If a man answered the door, I'd modify my talk, "Get ball scores and learn where fish are biting." That week I banged doors until eight o’clock each night, then
walked home through dark streets, hoping tomorrow would be a better day. Still, Saturday afternoon at 2:30, I raced my final quarters into the newspaper office. Thirty minutes later, grasping an envelope filled with thirteen one dollar bills, I headed for Sis’ work to give her my hard-earned bounty. On the street, a horn beeped. Hubby motioned to me.
Historically Speaking by Tom Morrow
"I got the money," I bragged.
"I knew you would. What say I take you home and go pick up Sis? We’ll celebrate with ice cream. I’ll take her the money.” His smile was so genuine, his eyes so a-twinkle, I forked over my hard-earned commissions without thought.
When the street lights winked on that evening, I was alone in Sis’ apartment. By 7:30 neither Sis nor Hubby were home. I took to the streets, expecting to find their broken bodies amid the red lights of an ambulance. I did find Sis. She wasn’t dead, just upset. Her face white, her cheeks wet, she was peeking into honky-tonk windows in every bar in town, looking for Hubby. Relieved that she was alive, and proud of my week’s success, I gushed, "I got the money you needed. Did Hubby give it to you?"
The look from her steely blue eyes took the air from my lungs. "You idiot! You know money makes him nervous and causes him to drink." Her right hand flew up, fast as rattle snake striking a mouse, and landed so hard across my face, it chipped a tooth. Today, many years later, that moment comes back to me during protracted sales negotiations.
March of the Bonus Army
The burning of Washington, D.C., by the British Army during the War of 1812, wasn’t the only time our nation’s capital city was invaded. It happened again in the spring and summer of 1932 – some 86 years ago, when more than 17,000 World War I veterans marched on the city demanding a cash redemption of their bonus certificates, which had been issued to World War I veterans. With their families, a total of 43,000 set up make-shift encampments of tents and temporary shacks, resolving not to leave until the government made good on a 1924 “World War Adjusted Compensation Act.” The money wasn’t supposed to be paid until 1945, but crushing economic pressures of the Great Depression pushed the out-of-work veterans to demand the money early.

Maj. Dwight D. Eisenhower, later our 34th President, served as one of MacArthur's junior aides. Believing it wrong for the Army's highestranking officer to lead an action against fellow veterans, Ike strongly advised MacArthur against taking any public role: "I told that dumb son-of-a-bitch not to go down there," Ike said later.
A decorated Army hero from the war, who had saved Patton's life, approached him the day after the Army’s action to sway Patton. Rather than listen to the man whom Patton had personally decorated for his bravery under fire, was coldly rejected, saying "I do not know this man.” The Bonus Army incident proved disastrous for Hoover's chances at re-election; he lost the 1932 election in a landslide to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1936, at the height of the Depression, Congress overrode President Franklin D. Roosevelt's veto and paid the veterans their bonus money.
A War Story With a Happy Ending
The men were looking at a gray German Messerschmitt fighter hovering just three feet off their wingtip. It was five days before Christmas 1943, and the fighter had closed in on their crippled American B-17 bomber for the kill.
The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters burned. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River to their largest camp, known as “Hooverville,” when President Hoover ordered the assault stopped. However, MacArthur, fearing the Bonus March was an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government, ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Fifty-five veterans were injured and 135 arrested.
In May 1933, a second demonstration was organized. Roosevelt provided the marchers with a campsite in Virginia, with three meals a day. Roosevelt arranged for his wife Eleanor to visit the site unaccompanied, but the most she could offer was a promise of jobs in the newly created Civilian Conservation Corps. One veteran commented: "Hoover sent the army, Roosevelt sent his wife."
My face tingles. Red splotches appear on my right cheek. My teeth hurt. It’s as if I’ve been slapped hard by a lady desperate to find her man.
A WWII pilot glanced outside his cockpit and froze. He blinked hard and looked again, hoping it was just a mirage. But his co-pilot stared at the same horrible vision. "My God, this is a nightmare," the co-pilot said."He's going to destroy us!"
tanks were commanded by Maj. George S. Patton. The Bonus Marchers, believing the troops were marching in their honor, cheered the troops until Patton ordered the cavalry to charge them -- an action which prompted the spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"
Organizers called it the “Bonus Expeditionary Force Marchers,” but the media called it the “Bonus Army.” The U.S. Attorney General ordered the veterans removed from all government property. When the veterans resisted, shots were fired and two were killed. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the Army to clear the veterans' campsite. Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commanded the infantry and cavalry units, which was supported by six tanks. The

The B-17 Pilot, Charles Brown, was a 21-year-old West Virginia farm boy on his first combat mission. His bomber had been shot to pieces by swarming fighters, and his plane was alone, struggling to stay in the skies above Germany. Half his crew was wounded, and the tail gunner was dead . But when Brown and his co-pilot, Spencer "Pinky" Luke, looked at the fighter pilot again, something odd happened. The German didn't pull the trigger. He stared back at the bomber in amazement and respect. Instead of pressing the attack, he nodded at Brown and saluted. What happened next was one of the most remarkable acts of chivalry recorded during World War Il.
Stigler pressed his hand over the rosary he kept in his flight jacket. He eased his index finger off the trigger. He couldn't shoot. It would be murder. Stigler wasn't just motivated by vengeance that day. He also lived by a code. He could trace his family's ancestry to Knights in 16th century Europe. He had once studied to be a priest. A German pilot who spared the enemy, though, risked death in Nazi Germany. If someone reported him, he would be executed. Yet, Stigler could also hear the voice of his commanding officer, who once told him: "You follow the rules of war for you--not your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity." Alone with the crippled bomber, Stigler changed his mission. He nodded at the American pilot and began flying in formation so German anti-aircraft gunners on the ground wouldn't shoot down the slow-moving bomber. (The Luftwaffe had B-17's of its own, shot down and rebuilt for secret missions and training.) Stigler escorted the bomber over the North Sea and took one last look at the American Pilot.
Then he saluted him, peeled his fighter away, and returned to Germany.
"Good luck," Stigler said to himself. "You're in God's hands now." Franz Stigler didn't think the big B-17 could make it back to England and wondered for years what happened to the American pilot and crew he encountered in combat. As he watched the German fighter peel away that December day, 2nd Lt. Charles Brown wasn't thinking of the philosophical connection between enemies. He was thinking of survival. He flew his crippled plane, filled with wounded, back to his base in England and landed with one of four engines knocked out, one failing, and barely any fuel left. After his bomber came to a stop, he leaned back in his chair and put a hand over a pocket Bible he kept in his flight jacket. Then he sat in silence. Brown flew more missions before the war ended. Life moved on. He got married, had two daughters, supervised foreign aid for the U.S. State Department during the Vietnam War, and eventually retired to Florida.
Late in life, though, the encounter with the German pilot began to gnaw at him. He started having nightmares, but in his dream there would be no act of mercy. He would awaken just before his bomber crashed. Brown took on a new mission. He had to find that German pilot. Who was he? Why did he save my life? He scoured military archives in the U.S. and England. He attended a Pilots' Reunion and shared his story. He finally placed an ad in a German Newsletter for former Luftwaffe Pilots, retelling the story and asking if anyone knew the pilot. On January 18, 1990, Brown received a letter. He opened it and read: "Dear Charles, All these years I wondered what happened to that B-17, did she

make it home? Did her crew survive their wounds? To hear of your survival has filled me with indescribable joy." It was Stigler.
He had had left Germany after the war and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1953. He became a prosperous businessman. Now retired, Stigler told Brown that he would be in Florida come summer, and "it sure would be nice to talk about our encounter." Brown was so excited, though, that he couldn't wait to see Stigler. He called Directory Assistance for Vancouver and asked whether there was a number for a Franz Stigler. He dialed the number, and Stigler picked up.
"My God, it's you!" Brown shouted as tears ran down his cheeks.
Brown had to do more. He wrote a letter to Stigler in which he said: "To say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU on behalf of my surviving crew members and their families appears totally inadequate."
The two pilots would meet again, but this time in person, in the lobby of a Florida hotel. One of Brown's friends was there to record the summer reunion. Both men looked like retired businessmen: They were plump, sporting neat ties and formal shirts. They fell into each other's arms and wept and

Oceanside Promise Receives $200,000 Stuart Foundation Grant – Investments to impact student success from cradle to college and through career. Nicole Magnuson, executive director of the Oceanside Promise is very appreciative of this support of collective efforts to improve opportunities and outcomes for Oceanside’s children and commented “The entire community benefits when our children succeed, and the Oceanside Promise partners are working together to help ensure every child has equitable
access to economic and life opportunities regardless of race, income or ability.” The grant is directed to staff capacity which provides critical leadership and support to the Oceanside Promise’s diverse cross-sector partners within four goal areas: Safety, Health & Well-Being, Early Childhood Success, College & Career Readiness, and Postsecondary Completion. The partners’ emphasis is on underrepresented students and children living in Oceanside’s highest poverty neighborhoods. This is a seed grant that requires the Oceanside Promise to raise matching dollars from individuals, corporations, and local philanthropy, as well as to meet specified benchmarks for sustaining capacity and achieving short- and long-term impact. Community members interested in supporting the Oceanside Promise and its cradle to college and career goals can give online at OceansidePromise.org/donate. The Oceanside Promise partnership officially launched in early 2015 after Dr. Duane Coleman, the outgoing Superintendent of Oceanside Unified School District, recognized that the needs of his students were too complex for educators to address alone. The partnership includes over 100 individuals and experts representing the early childhood, K-12, higher education, business, government, nonprofit, and faith-based sectors. Current priorities include improving the Kindergarten readiness of children living in Oceanside’s highest poverty neighborhoods and supporting the success of Latino young men on the path to postsecondary completion including degrees, certificates and industry-recognized credentials.

City Manager’s Office Complaint Log
Every week, the Escondido City Council receives a list of complaints that have been brought to the attention of the City Manager for resolution.

They would take fishing trips together. They would fly cross-country to each other’s homes and take road trips together to share their story at schools and veterans' reunions. Their wives, Jackie Brown and Hiya Stigler, became friends.
Brown's daughter says her father would worry about Stigler's health and constantly check in on him. "It wasn't just for show," she says. "They really did feel for each other. They talked about once a week." As his friendship with Stigler deepened, something else happened to her father, Warner says "The nightmares went away." Brown had written a letter of thanks to Stigler, but one day he showed the extent of his gratitude. He organized a reunion of his surviving crew mem-

He may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once you become friends you will soon see his affectionate side, ready to offer cuddles and kisses! Dante would love to find a home where his humans will be patient with him and committed to continuing his positive reinforcement training and confidence-building, especially around strangers, as the big world around him can seem rather scary and overwhelming at times. It also might be helpful for him to have another friendly & calm doggie in the home, so if you have one, be sure to bring them in for an intro to see if it’s a good fit.

The Pastor Says . . .
Pastor Sam Brumit Mission 316 San Marcos, CA. A Familiar Psalm
Even people who are not that familiar with the Bible usually have heard of the 23rd Psalm. It is more than a beautiful piece of poetry from the scriptures.
Written by David, this psalm reflects his care and protection of the sheep in his flock. He compares God to a shepherd. And when we read this beautiful metaphor, we get insight into the character and nature of God Himself. Here’s a few insights I’ve gained as I’ve read this Psalm so many times through the years. • God is my provider. He provides for us. He takes care of us. Following his leading means
we can experience his provision and peace. Given that sheep are not the smartest of animals, we need the shepherd to guide us. He knows us and can care for us better than we even realize. • God is my restorer. He restores our soul. When we experience pain or disappointment in our lives, He is the shepherd that can heal and restore. He cares for our soul. • God is my protector. Sheep are really helpless in lots of ways. The great shepherd walks with us through the valleys and is with us when we are in places of danger or when we are prone to wander and need rescue. Let’s face it, we all go astray. God is present and will guide us with his rod and staff. • God is my sustainer. He prepares a table for us – right in the presence of our enemies. He anoints us and our cup overflows. As we dwell in His house, goodness and mercy follow us! Take a few moments and reflect on this great psalm. It might be exactly what you are seeking. Everyone is welcome to visit Mission 316 Church in San Marcos. The service is held at 10 AM on Sundays at 3 Civic Center Drive (The Community Center) – directly across from the San Marcos Public Library. See you soon!

David
His name is David and he is a long time part of the San Marcos street scene. David stops by the Computer Factory once or twice a week just to make sure he doesn’t miss out on anything. We don’t know his last name but we call him “Mr. San Marcos.” He seems to hold a strange power over the “powers that be” in our fair city. For years David has carried out a cat and mouse crime spree right under the nose of those sworn to protect and serve. No, David isn’t a drug dealer or gang leader and he doesn’t rob banks, steal identities or mug little old ladies. Dave’s crime is a passion for the things that the citizens of San Marcos discard. David is not a trash picker either, he is a repurposer. Where most of us see worthless broken things, David sees the raw materials to create valu-

was just six months old, Chuck was diagnosed with Stage 4 follicular lymphoma, the second most common subtype of nonHodgkin lymphoma. His diagnosis came as a shock, but Gabriella helped him remain positive through seven months of chemotherapy. “When your daughter crawls on you in the morning, you don’t have a choice but to get out of bed. She inspired me to get up every day, to fight through the effects of chemotherapy,” Chuck says. While the initial treatment worked, his cancer returned in August 2017. Chuck started connecting with other patients online and reached out to LLS’s Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia Chapter for education and support. After reviewing more treatment options, his specialist recommended a clinical trial for CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell immunotherapy. LLS recognized the early promise of this pioneering treatment that uses the patient’s own immune system to kill cancer, investing $40 million in research over 20 years. In February, Chuck received CAR T-cell immunotherapy. It worked. Four months later, he remains in complete remission. To celebrate Father’s Day, Chuck spent time with his daughter and fiancé. “My daughter is my world, my medicine. She is not someone I will ever give up on,” he says. Make every day Father’s Day by helping to continue to advance breakthroughs that are saving lives.

able and useful things. David is a visionary with an artist’s eye. A lidless toilet tank, a stroller without wheels, a broken picture frame, a single crutch, a wooden board, a piece of drywall or an empty Kleenex box. In these things David sees possibilities. That unwanted item may be exactly what someone; somewhere needs to make their life a little better. David is a bit north of 70 years old and probably weighs 125 lbs soaking wet, yet he is tireless in his collection activities. Always on the move, you can see him on the sidewalks and parking lots of San Marcos at all hours accumulating hundreds of pounds of treasure each day. David doesn’t have a warehouse so he must stage his plunder in public places. Like a squirrel hiding nuts, David stashes his treasures in alleys, side streets parking lots and behind various public and private buildings. The law doesn’t allow this sort of storage on public property and that is David’s crime.
may have shut down one of David’s “warehouses” but they certainly didn’t get them all.
David also recycles for cash in order to supplement his frugal life style. When asked how much he can make recycling for cash David says that he used to make $35 a day on cans and bottles but competition from the homeless has ruined that opportunity. “You’re lucky to make a buck an hour these days” David laments. David is not homeless, he owns a van. David has little use for most of the San Marcos homeless community and counts himself an important supporter in city and county efforts to close down and clean up the squalid local homeless camp sites.
When one of David’s piles gets large enough to create a fire hazard or trigger a complaint, either the city or the property management may take action, or maybe not. Just last week David suffered a significant inventory loss. Several tons of material David had staged on Cribbage Court beside Churchill’s Pub disappeared leaving only a dozen empty Home Depot shopping carts nested neatly nearby. “The law”

Ms. Sahhar told the history of the Mission and the restorations that have maintained it. It is the only one of the California Missions that still has an intact church building. The roof has been replaced a few times but the building itself has never fallen down. The Santa Margarita Chapter placed a plaque acknowledging this historic mission in 2000, as part of the Daughters mission on historic preservation.

We’ve known David for many years. He is a colorful, intelligent and interesting character. David is always eager to engage on pretty much any topic, space travel, medicine, local and national politics, technology; you name it. David attacks life with good cheer and a childlike inquiring mind. If you’re a wealthy person with a spare warehouse you could really make a positive impact on David’s life. If you’re just one of us average day to day San Marcosians, you can still help make David’s day.

This left a profoud impression. He raised the "varmint" and helped put him through college. The "varmint" had a couple of sons of his own and, naturally tried to pass on to them whatever knowledge he had picked up. One day, while he was pretending to know what he was talking about, one of his sons remarked - " Gee dad, you know everything." This college graduate was able to answer with the wisdom he had learned from his dad, a grammer school drop out. Best wishes
