Odd Los Alamitos drive ends with Rossmoor caravan
Mrs. Mircle Cooper of Rossmoor steers a line of cars along Los Alamitos Blvd and toward Rossmoor, aided by a passing driver who insists she continue. A separate anecdote recalls a man painting the edges of his thick white soles in blue red and green to spin a fable about cheap Hollywood shoes. Parking attendant Vernie Jones handles up to 250 cars on busy days and helps drivers with keys lights and safety. Wilmington resident Mrs. A J Sessions mills her own wheat grinds flour fresh and bakes four loaves for herself her husband and friends.
