My alma mater was on GMA this morning. Boy, did this pull my heartstrings this morning. Having gone to high school with the Wilson boys at Hawthorne High School (go scarlet and gold), it's one of my fondest memories of my life! My freshman year my best friend, at the time, lived in the same neighborhood as the Wilson family. We used to be able to hear them practice in their garage, for assemblies at school - before they were even famous. Beach parties (not necessarily surfing), love ins at Griffith Park, flea markets, drive-ins, beads, flowers, body painting, etc. ... all part of the sixties - hippies, surfers, and hodads - and we all got along! My way of "cruisin' Main" on the weekends were jaunts from Hawthorne up LaBrea Avenue to Hollywood & Vine! And after-hours clubs were "da bomb"!!!! ~nr lenz
