. . .but I don't see anyone on the lists that is associated with USC Medical School. :shrug: I have a couple of questions for you, noirishers. Are there more letters after 'Leonard', or are the squiggles fancy calligraphy? Do you agree the first two initials are J. J. ? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/kouCAd.jpg detail I still believe this gentleman is the one associated with USC. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/bxSl3I.jpg detail Original photograph HERE . |

"1972 kodachrome Photo Slide 1950s or 60s Thunderbird car Los Angeles County"...eBay https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/14BBRI.jpg A perfect match! hmm...do you think the owner of the apartment building is also the owner of the Thunderbird..and he bought the car to match the building? Or...did he already own the Thunderbird so he painted the apartment to match his car? Or...Does the Thunderbird have nothing to do with the apartment building? ...NOTE THAT IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME....(wreath on the door & four plastic candles by the tree/plant on the right) |

E_R, I believe the squiggles after the name are the abbreviation for Jr.

Just curious...
CBD, Do you know what building is behind the rare '42 Cadillac?

There's a period at the end of the name which suggests it's "Jr." for Junior. With that in mind, a quick scan of old USC related material on their library site throws up the name "A. T. Leonard Jr." in an alumni magazine from 1926. That fits nicely as a possibility but the search facility on the site is not co-operating with me to narrow it down. :shrug: |

Here's a youtube video explaining how they light the torch at USC games and other events, the torch is controlled from a room within the peristyle, directly under the torch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IyxjKZUs2s At least it was before the recent renovation, probably still is. Although I hope they would add some controls or communication between the new press box and the torch controls, with all the $$$ spent on the renovation! |

"The Family Tucker", Los Angeles http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/HJStzr.jpg Curt J / flickr Carl J. writes. . . "My aunt and uncle, Dorothy and Wilbur Haskell, who lived in Los Angeles, California, were among the very few original purchasers of a Tucker Automobile. Dorothy was my Mom's older sister. Her husband, Wilbur Haskell was a masonry contractor, who had done well in business, even during the Depression, and was able to afford things that he wanted. He saw a new Tucker in a showroom, not far from his home. He went into the dealership and paid in full for "the first one that came in", but that didn't happen. When it became apparent that it was not going to happen, Wilbur returned to the dealership and demanded either his money back, or the keys to "that car", the one in the showroom. He got the car. The Haskells kept the Tucker until 1959, when they either sold it or traded it in on another car." Let's take a closer look at Aunt Dorothy and the Tucker. Does anyone recognize the neighborhood?....... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/rmYc8N.jpgdetail Carl J. continues. . . . "I recently contacted Mr. Mike Schutta, Automotive Historian, Secretary of the Tucker Automobile Club. I told him what I knew, and sent him scans of the photo. His reply was fascinating to say the least. Mr. Schutta told me that there were only a couple of the cars that he did not have the complete history of. One of them was a turquoise car that was Tucker #1009. The earliest known history on that car, was when it appeared on a car lot in March of 1959, just five miles from my aunt & uncle's home. Mr. Schutta further states that it was almost certainly sold new by Southwest Tucker, located at 2021 Wellington Road, which was five to six miles from the Haskell's home. "After it appeared on the car lot in 1959, it remained there until 1962, when it was purchased by a young man who lived just three miles from Dorothy and Wilbur. From there, it traveled about 45 miles, to Ontario, California, where it remained for a few years. In the early 1970's it was owned by a man in Frankfort, Indiana. In 1987 it was purchased by Movie Producer George Lucas, who produced the "Tucker" movie in 1988. Lucas continues to own the car." __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wow. That's really interesting, Carl. . |
