19. Yeah, Cass (his name I forgot to mention)...

...was quite a character!

If he's still around, I figure he'd be 85-90ish.

One day he asked me to come into his apartment, and he showed me where he kept his handgun, "in case you ever need it." He advised that if I ever did need it, to shoot to kill. Fortunately, I never needed it.

Also, I've been in the Pasadena/Sierra Madre area since late 1979.

When I was in Hollywood, I was in the apartment building on Whitley Ave at the corner of Hollywood Blvd, across from Frederick's of Hollywood.

I was in Apt 1, so I had lots of people randomly knocking on my door, looking for the manager or whoever.

One time, I answered the door and 2 black robed/hooded, what looked like druids were standing there.

Another time, I answered the door and met what would later become my wife. That only lasted maybe 2 years.

It was an "interesting" time!
