| Your mention of the streetcars brought back many memories of public transportation in San Diego. My father drove for San Diego Transit for 36 plus years until the stress finally forced him into retirement. His favorite assignment was the route that went to Coronado via the Coronado Ferry when it was operational. He also operated the streetcars and was sad to see them go. As a dependent of a Bus Operator, I had a free pass until my 19th year and used it to ride all over San Diego and to use it as my transportation to the beaches for swimming and fishing, and to downtown to the Library and the movies. I still remember the time when we could buy a big bag of popcorn at the Kresge's Store and take it into the theatre. I guess that dates me! Dan Richards ‘65 |
