Thread Name: Balboa Park, San Diego!
Subject: RE: Balboa Park, San Diego!
Genie, I'm sure Mike and his new bride stayed at one of the fine San Diego "No-Tell Motels" and enjoyed the park by day.

Louie Roy, I have a friend who was in the USMC during WWII. He was in Japan on 12/07/41 and was held there till the end of the war. When he got back home he was hospitalized in the Museum Of Natural History in Balboa Park. When he regained his health he ate a boat load of hamburgers and was given the nick-name of "Wimpy." He became the chef at the "Cotton Patch" on Rosecrans St. San Diego and worked there for years untill it closed. At this time he's alive and well. You being there in 1945 I thought you might get a little kick out of that story.
