Hedy,I understand your allusion to Pearl (Ed the owner) at the Ash Grove, although the Forbes part is not in my experience. As an aside, I lived next door to the Pearls in the mid-50s, his brother Bernie and I went to Jr.High together and later met again at university. It wasn't until my third or fourth visit to the AG that I learned who owned it.

A few years ago Ed Pearl tried to revive the Ash Grove on the pier at Santa Monica, but it was a short-lived venture.---John
