		<title>21 Oceanfront in 1959</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My stepfather had a cafe on Oceanfront for several years in the late 1950&#8242;s. I remember seeing the wooden dory&#8217;s operated by the local fishermen bringing fresh fish, and selling it on the beach. I recently found the attached slide of his cafe, which is now where 21 Oceanfront Restaurant is now located.]]></description>

		<title>The Aircraft Carrier Off the Newport Beach Coastline</title>
		<description><![CDATA["The carrier was absolutely enormous to my six year old eyes and got bigger and bigger as we approached.  The tender went around the bow and I remember the anchor lines seemed bigger than me.  One of the scariest memories of my young life was being snatched out of my dad's hands by a crewman on a rickety wooden ladder on the port side of the carrier..."]]></description>

		<title>My One And Only Flight Of The Snowbirds</title>
		<description><![CDATA["The wind had picked up and the bow began to plow, bringing gallons of water into the boat. I quickly grabbed the coffee can and began bailing with one hand. The other hand was busy controlling the tiller and rudder. I had wrapped the sheet (the line regulating the sail) around the tiller so the boat could be managed one-handed. Even with all that effort, I was losing ground. The water was coming in faster than I was bailing..."]]></description>

		<title>Beatniks, Surfing, and Khrushchev in Disneyland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Southern California in the 1960s wasn’t just a time and place; it was a state of mind. No where else in America could one find all the things happening in, around, and to you that came together in just the right way as they did in Southern California in the 60s. And I would venture to pinpoint Orange County within Southern California as the epitome of that special state of mind. My brother and sister and I certainly thought so growing up there during that wild, wonderful time.]]></description>
