Message to Michael at SCM - Don't flee a future you can''t yet see!

The Accomplished and Esteemed MPB                 

Dear Sir,                                      

I would like to meet with you at at your earliest convenience to discuss a substansive change to the current use of your parcel & landmark Modern architectural properties in La Crescenta.

I hope to convince you to consider delaying it's sale for another year or two and use it to positively affect the lives and probably influence the futures of thousands of quiet, curious, courteous students fortunate enough to live nearby the northern foothills of Los Angeles.

I believe you will find no better use for this property than as a private membership club to control access to a very special library and meeting space for only authorized guests and visitors that can generate income to fund the purchase of discounted books so every student visitor can choose a great illustrated book to take back with them & treasure.

This site also possesses star qualities which could entice overnite rentals to help pay property taxes, insurance and the employment of a handful of locals to help maintain it. The original house & cabin would only be accessible to adult guests, not student visitors.

Hopefully you're intrigued enough by my audaciousness to allow a personal appeal. I suggest we meet in public where I can freely answer questions about my plan or me. If you'd like to chat outside, we might play some disc golf at one of those special parks.

I can't think of a better place for our first meeting to occur than at the local Bowling Alley. I imagine you have enough sway to finally let my big blue ball explode those pins all over. Sew then you'll see me with a colossal grin when Needles strikes his bowling pins.

I think you'll find we are pretty kopasetic on sensitive philosophical and political Qs. I suspect we are aligned like railroad tracks regarding truth, justice and free speech. I too have sought enlightenment and wisdom in the teachings of Buddhism & Daoism.

I believe it wouldn't take more than a few weeks to set things up. I hope to someday soon proclaim that "I am sharing my STEM collection to raise money for the KPL Public Benefit Corporation, a community-supported Oasis of Information, Entertainment & delight that I plan to be a key part of for sometime."  I don't want to die a lonely, wiser, miser with just knowledge & experience surrounded by great books.

 

Give it Away! Give it Away! Give it Away Now! tops my Keep Altruistic Philanthropy Selfless. Unlike yourself, despite two decades of teaching, I can use all the surplus karma I can get. I don't think my time working on modifying circuitry for the GOES/GMS weather satellites counterbalanced my extended efforts on Trident missile guidance & F14/F15 navigation.  

I hope together with many others we can 

Keep Promoting Literacy at the Karma Peaks Library

To share a better future for all children everywhere

Best Wishes to you & all your family

Read some Gon books w/ your son

You'll never forget the experience

PS
If you have any contacts with access to the GSN library,
you could see me get cheated by the Inquisition show    
that I dominated after my last Jeopardy tryout failure.

I lived 12 years in LA South Bay, home of an aging Betty Page and SST Records.
I suspect we passed by each other many times in the past outside of Silverlake.
Did you get to see the the hermit crab races in J Sloanes during the early 80s?
Play pool or foosball at Barney's Beanery or the Oar House/Buffalo chips?
Did you enjoy any shows at McCabe's Guitar shop or the Fox Inn in SM?
Did you ever get to check out Papa Bachs by the Nuart or Change of Hobbit?
I remember my first drive up to the Vista Aug 15, 1980 to see War of the Worlds.
Someone blurted Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten had just been murdered.

If you ever used to drive much in Silverlake where Fountain becomes Hyperion then you probably
spotted my solitary 5 story tall christmas tree composed of dozens of light strings on the west side
of the hill about 1/2 way to the top that was traditionally hoisted into position after Thanksgivings.
Hope it put a grin on your face as big as the drinks, chips & salsa at Casita del Campo did for me.

It was pointed up towards the Paramour Estate's stained window on top of the hill.  I couldn't see
your group perform there for the 911 concert because my lot was on the west side of Edgecliffe.
I lived down the street from a couple Schindler apartments, next to Carlos Mencia until he moved.
Didn't go to El Cid, Tiki-Ti and Millie's enough but kept Peaches & Pua busy weekends at Good Eats.
I'll bet you remember the Asian sisters at Eat n High, now the site of Boos. They had great Thais.

PSSSS
If you still fish and ever decide to check out the Crandon Raceway, there's some lakeside locals I know who could help make arrangements for a delightful stay w/ pointers on the best places to catch a whopper! 

Here's a bit of dejaspoo (unexpected coincidences)

Mom's Bday is March 27, Dad calls her Low-ee. She had a sister Patricia. Karen is my sister.
