We probably crossed paths.
Just might have crossed paths you never know. I had a concession for parking cars at Smugglers Inn in the building that housed Retail Clerks Union (my wife was a member) that was in '69. Smugglers was part of Associated Host who owned Coffee Dan's and Diamond Jims. My Father had Ross Loos (the first health care insurance) with the City of L.A. then Kaiser. My wife had Kaiser so I was with them a long time.
I rode my bike or took the street cars into Hollywood a lot spending the money at movie theaters I made selling papers. You might have been in the same theater.
