Forest Scrape, a retired Marine, originally bought the already-established tire business and since he went by the nickname “Scrappy,” he gave his newly-acquired business the name of Scrappy’s Tire Company. Forest’s son, Larry, took over management of the business eventually, and was assisted by his son, Steve. When Larry passed away in 2012, Steve continued running the company and upholding the excellent record of service the company has provided to the community that began with his grandfather. Additional recognition Fallbrook Historical Society
president Roy Moosa welcomed attendees to the event and provided an update on the organization’s accomplishments over the past year and current goals. Board member Mary Belton presented certificates of recognition to an artist and a group of school students who have been working for months with her, to paint murals on the outside of the society’s storage containers located adjacent to the Pittenger House. The murals depict scenes of the Fallbrook area landscape and natural bird and animal habitat. The students were guided/mentored in their painting activity by Daniel Martinez, a wellknown muralist. As an extra benefit, the high school students received credit for their required community service hours for their work on the museum grounds.
