For those of you wishing to see some early photos of Rocket Town located near the Inyokern establishment, I suggest perusing a copy of Life Magazine dated February 16, 1948.
Just got a copy from ebay for less than $20. Some of you oldsters may recognize some of the names and faces included therein.

Hi:
Not much of a writer, but read a lot of the names and some of
the musing of the past. Came across Roy Gerard's name and
found no e-mail address. Maybe he will read this and drop
me a line. Dee Black class of 51

FYI: Under your 80s & 90s tab you have the following statement:
There was a 5-and-dime next to JCP (Spritz or something) that I frequented alot.
I believe you are referring to "Sprouse Reitz" wich is pronounced Sprouse "Rites" and commonly mispronounced as Sprouse "Ritz". In 1991, the company tried to revive itself by renaming stores Sprouse!. Sprouse-Reitz decided to liquidate and close its final 84 stores after failing to find a buyer in late 1993. I actually worked at this store during the early 1980s. Does anyone know what became of ths store?

I traveled to Ridgecrest in oct.1974 to visit my brother who was stationed at NWC. I stayed for 15 years. Work for Boyds auto parts for the first 6 years, then went to Cram McCall Machine shop. Worked at Desert Motors when I left to move back to Kansas City. I was the D half of P&D racing. I have a son and daughter still living in Ridgecrest. I truly miss the desert and hope to move back someday.
