If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever

Teresa,

I'm not sure I ever met your husband but if you married him, he had to be a great guy. I'm so sorry for your loss, but as I remember you, you were a strong person and you know you have to keep going, for the sake of your family and friends that love you.

BAYFRONT RESORT HOTEL

The City of Chula Vista and the Port District signed an agreement with a development company called RIDA Development to build a large hotel (1600 rooms) and convention center on the bayfront to the west of where Rohr was located.  It is a $1billion project.

I think it will be difficult to fill that many rooms with tourists. However, a company called Gaylord--which is owned by the Marriott Corporation--will operate the hotel. They own the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and other hotels similar to the one planned for Chula Vista. They have all been successful.  So we will see.

The City plans on a "fancy" redevelopment of  "F" street leading to 3rd Avenue to include a trolley line. They hope that will get the tourists from the hotel.

Here is their rendition of the proposed hotel and grounds:

This is the plan for F Street. All views are looking east.

I'm back! Somehow, the forum is now coming to my wife's e-mail account and I successfully changed my password so I am able to communicate again. I've missed a lot, but I'm still here. Addie and I just visited our daughter Molly and her family in Charleston. We celebrated our grandbaby Gunnar's first birthday; what a wonderful moment for all of us. He is growing fast and appears to be a very happy baby. His older sibs, twins Grayden and Piper, adore him. He was showered with gifts of course including a furry plush anteater, a memento from my recent visit to Brazil. I will be posting photos of the event to Facebook.

Note error: I finally had my other eye done and the good news is that I have near perfect far vision. On the other side of the coin, I have no near vision without glasses. I'm using 2.75 readers right now. Still experimenting.

I am a big fan of all women's sports. My oldest daughter (mother of Gunnar, Grayden and Piper) was a tennis player and member of the dance team at McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, GA. Daughter Emily was the outstanding senior swimmer at McIntosh. Daughter Sally, the son I never had, was the outstanding senior female athlete at McIntosh where she lettered in basketball, football (as a kicker), lacrosse, and roller hockey. The roller hockey team was a boy's team but she was the goalie when they won the Georgia state championship. She later played ice hockey for the Atlanta Lady Thrashers. She was all-state in girl's lacrosse and played college lacrosse at Presbyterian College in SC. Later, when Addie and I relocated to South Florida, Sally began to play women's tackle football. She kicked, punted, and played wide receiver well enough to make the national team. This team traveled to Stockholm to play in the first Women's World Championship of tackle football. They won a gold medal. Sally wears a gigantic ring that was presented to the members of this outstanding group of female athletes. I am amazed at how good these women are in all sports. Sally could punt a football fifty yards. I was the punter at HHS in my senior year. Sally would have beat me out! It will be fun to see what sports the grand-babies favor. I'm hoping they will be golfers.

Tom Rice made his annual D-Day jump on June 6th. This time in France.

The Right Stuff alright. 

Big thumbs up.

At first I thought he was solo, which would have been even righter, but the final frames show he was in tandem.

Thank you, George.  Amazing video of Mr. Rice.  Indeed one of the Greatest Generation.  I am humbled with gratitude for all the members of our military -- those who are serving and those who served.  Thank you!

A&W was ubiquitous in Northern California. When I began trekking to Stockton from Chula Vista in 1964, the long road up highway 99 included many opportunities to stop for fuel at A&W. Wonderful burgers and great root beer. I was happy to read recently that the company is making a comeback. On my last trip to Stockton, I learned about an A&W in Lodi. Just like the old days.
