I lived there in 1973 working for Mr. Gee and sometimes for his brother in his reality office.. I ran the ancient switchboard, worked the Sunday Buffet and did all kinds of odd jobs for my room and 1 meal a day. Mr. "Jerry" ran the restaurant. Old fashioned telephone booths with the sliding doors in the lobby, lol. Met some interesting people, most down on their luck, including one famous artist! Talk about history! At night I would walk along the ocean front to the amusement park (roller coaster was not used by then) Actually was sad to hear it burned but not surprised. Never got to see the floor where the military exercises were planned and watched; supposedly too dangerous, was in bad shape. What memories.
