Hello from La Mesa, CA.

Welcome MoParMetal:
I grew up in Murray Manor and went to Grossmont high school until 1960; when my family moved to Northern California. The surrounding area was largely undeveloped in the ’50 and a great place for a kid to roam around. The Murray Manor area (and La Mesa) was so undeveloped back then, I remember finding a crash site, from a Jet from Miramar NAS (before Marine it was base), which was no more than five miles from our housing development.
