My Father's Service

As many of you know my father passed away on April 2, 2011, his service was today and it was beautiful.

He went out of this life, loved by many, respected by all, and missed forever.  He was an amazing man who had the ability to make anyone feel at ease and at home in a short amount of time.  He excepted the best from his crew, and always gave the best of himself to any project he tackled.

Thank you for all the wonderful thoughts and wishes.  Please keep the stories coming as I will still be posting to my dad's blog.

Rest in Peace Dad.

Ahh... lunch at Sizzler Steak house

     So, Sizzler Steak House was always a fun place to go to have lunch, lots of choices steak, chicken, fish, and the best cheese toast ever.  You walk in, looked at the menu which was a large board made of wood, each entree had its own piece of wood that was stuck to a bigger board so the entrees and specials could be changed up.  The prices of the entrees were done with stick on numbers which with a special tender touch could be peeled off and moved around. (I'm not saying that anyone would ever do this, but if they did, they know who they are.....LOL) Needless this say, you get up to the front to pay, the register says 10.99 and you say no that entree is 6.99, they'd come out and see, sure enough it was, ahh you just got to love naughty boys, huh????   They did finally change the board so the numbers couldn't be changed, but it was funny while it lasted.

Lunch memories.

    There was a restaurant on Melrose Blvd called Manya's (spelling may be wrong, come on Maslow do you remember?), it had the best Hot Dogs ever.  It was a husband and wife operation, and had kosher hot dogs, and amazing fries, and was always crazy busy.  Melrose Blvd was at it's height of cool, lots of shops and restaurants to choose from but we always seemed to drift towards Manya's. 

    There was a pay phone in the corner (yes this was before cell phones), Kevin O'Connell would call his order in from the pay phone since they always took the phone orders first. LOL... Kevin used to eat mustard on his french fries, they had squeeze bottles and he would put a line of mustard on each fry. (funny the things we remember)

     Then, the guys got really smart, the first guy up to order would pull the cord on the phone at the order counter and the last guy would plug it back in, LOL, no phone orders got in the way of ordering lunch anymore.....

     I have such great memories from my summers spent with Dad at work, we always get giggling when we talk about them.....Next lunch story...Sizzler Steak House...it's a good one.  Till tomorrow, Good night.

Does that little red light mean we are recording?

     I remember in Goldwyn Dubbing Room C, being a little girl and camping out under the ping pong table. Now, I am guessing Dad planted this in my head but everytime that red light would come on under the screen I would hold my breath and not move, thinking that what ever noise I would make would end up on screen. Way to trick your daughter Dad! Guess it kept me quiet though. LOL

Where are my stories?

  I need stories people.  I need to keep Billy entertained!!!!! Give me your best stories.

The Orange Honda

    Now all of you Samuel Goldwyn gang, who can forget Dad's bright orange honda?     How many times did that car get put into the lobby of Dubbing room D.....or lifted onto a sidewalk at lunch. I loved that car, who wouldn't love that car now, a honda motorcycle engine, yeah baby, great on gas! OK it was a gross color but really at $4 a gallon who cares.
