P-listers not adverse to strange but true obscure facts from the past
may be interested in learning they have a member who used to
occasionally frequent the Hermosa Pier during the late 30s and war
years. Had cousins who lived at various times at Hermosa Beach and
Manhattan Beach. Had a surfboard (homemade) but never was good enough
to shoot the pier.
