Description |
December 12, 1996 Dear Gary: Many thanks for your photos. They brought back many memories.This will be a brief note as I want to get it in the mail before my wife and I leave Bedford for a few days. I also built an other orange juice stand directly across the street from the airport. As you know, there is a lot of traffic on that highway and wanted to try to get the people going in each direction. The second stand was in the shape of a huge orange and many hundreds of people stopped each week to take a photo of the huge orange. I wish they also had stopped to buy some orange juice and oranges. When we moved to San Bernardino in 1940, we moved the original stand. The moving company actually cut the building in half and towed it to San Bernardino. We sold the large orange stand and it was also moved. In regard to the Wigwam building ,we did have our father run that one until he passed away. This was also strictly orange juice and oranges which we purchased from packing houses in Glendora. If you ever learn what ever happened to the large orange stand, please let me know. Gary, I am going to sign off but please give my best to "Skeeter". She is really a fantastic person. Kindest regards, Richard J. McDonald |
