I was born in Dr. Drummond's hospital in Red Mt. and delivered by him. That was in 1938. I grew up in Johannesburg and graduated from Randsburg High School in 1956. I worked for U.S. Borax for 11 years and then Joined the Ridgecrest Police Department in 1969. I stayed with the Dept. until 1977 when I decided to sell everything and move my family to Cottage Grove, Oregon.

Good to see some old pictures of Ridgecrest and surrounding area. Graduated from Burroughs in 1970 -- area has really changed over the years. Thanks for this website.

Great site! Got here quite by accident, but glad I did. I remember working at La Fiesta when my parents owned it in the early 70's. I also remember a lot of the old businesses that are now part of valley history. Keep up the good work!

What a great site! It was like time travel seeing many of the old buildings! The old La Fiesta building! The only one I don't remember seeing was the old theater building (where the Burger King is now) or the Drive-In. This was a lot of fun! Thanks for your idea and genius! Kami Perry
