We moved to Gaezeley St. in about 1955 in then Saugus, Mint Cyn., Forest Park. I recall going to Ace Cain's place , in fact I was about 2-3 yrs. old when my parents threw me in Mr. Cain's pool and taught me to swim. I also recall how grateful on one occasion when we had to evacuate due to fires and we ended up at Ace Cain's, sitting in the pool with ashes and embers falling all around, my dad kept saying we will be all right. And we were. I love this site.

Well said, Carolyn, but this site is blessed with an excellent Webmaster who deletes the Idiot entries. I first moved to Saugus in 1959 and Graduated Hart in 1961 so I was thrilled to find this site. I'm so glad they take care of it so well.

Is there any way to get in contact with George Starbuck who wrote an article in January 2002 on his great grand father who was from the Champsaur valley in France ? I am from Champsaur too and we have lost the trace of our great uncle and family who emigrated to the States. May be Mr Starbuck can help as people from the same area tend to stay together. Many thanks in advance. Lydie

Sadly, I was browsing today due to the passing of Noureen (Jauregui) Baer (Sunday, June 10, 2007). I hope one day they will open "The Jauregui Ranch" (now Disney) to the public, even for one weekend a year. The history there is amazing.

One more thing after looking at the pictures of the Oak of the Golden Dream, I use to play in that tree when I was a kid. One of the workers was killed by a bee sting while getting honey out of one of the branches in about 1964 or 1965. All of that area was Walt Disney's ranch and he was still living when I first started going there. There was a man made waterfall and a pond with a covered bridge that I use to fish out of with my friend Jody who lived there and her father was the caretaker. What a great childhood memory. Thanks so much!

Lived in Newhall back in the 70's. Stepfather had a small ranch on Sierra highway. Loved riding my horse to the store or to the Halfway House to eat. Happily, that is still there, took my wife to eat there last summer! Newhall was a nice town to live in. Went to William Hart's house alot back then! Happy to see people still interested in saving the history around there, but should have saved the hangman's tree and old house of the Mitchell's place.

In the mid 80's, I lived in my step-dad's cabin at Castaic, along with my husband and two young children, for a year while our home here in Maribu was being built.. The care-taker there at the time was an old cowboy from the area named Armor, who passed away several years ago... My step-dad is the grandson of Thomas Marple and Leovijilda Martinez Marple, who was a member of one of the areas first Spanish land grant families, and for whom Marple Canyon is named. The cabin is located on what is now called Nichols Lane, and sits on a hillside above the 5 freeway, on 40 acres. It was built in the 20's by my dad's parents, Harvey Nichols and Ruth Marple Nichols. It's a charming wood sided cabin, with 2 guest houses, a swimming pool, tennis court, and a barn and corrals for horses. At the time we still got our water from a natural artesian well. Today, the rest of Castaic has grown up around it, and most people probably don't even realize it's there, but every year my family still gathers there to celebrate Thanksgiving. This Spring, my step-dad turns 81 years old, he's the last of his generation of Nichols, and the last of his breed...he still works full time, 5 days a week, and he still runs a cattle ranch he owns in Porterville! He's a real cowboy! His name is Robert Nichols. Just thought I'd fill you in on another little piece of Castaic history.

I can't believe that I happened upon this website during my evening internet travels! My husband and I got married here in Michigan in 1964 when he was home on Army leave from the "former" missle base in Newhall. My first trip away from MI was to Newhall as a new bride! My first job was at the Santa Clarita Hospital. I don't even know if it still exists, but hope to find out as I research the archives on this site. I'm beginning to feel a little nostalgic, since we were married on December 12th and arrived at the LA airport on Christmas day.....me in my winter coat standing beneath the palm trees! I can remember taking an evening ride and seeing a couple of cute little "puppies" running across the road. I had never seen a coyote back home in Michigan! Never saw a rattlesnake until the huge one the hospital maintenance man showed me in the hospital parking lot! Needless to say, when the year was up and the Army gave us our discharge, I was very homesick and ready to head back home. I did meet some very nice people who worked with me at the hospital. I had some great experiences there. Some of the patients I cared for have left lasting memories. I could go on and on with my reminiscing. I want to thank you for allowing me to do so on this site I stumbled upon. Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Oh, one more thought........I really do miss the warmth and sunshine as I sit here in the cold and gloom of a Michigan winter..........

The Corral Drive-in was located in Seco Cyn. about where the Grace Baptist Church stands today. My family will never forget the first time we went to the drive-in after we moved to Saugus in 1964. The drive-in was quite old by then and the screen was leaning or somehow mounted on the mountain slope on the far end of the drive-in. There was a fairly large concession stand. Saugus didn't have many stores and no real entertainment venues back then and having a drive-in was quite a treat to those of us who moved up from the S.F. Valley. The drive-in was owned and operated by a family who lived in the Santa Clarita Valley. I can't remember their last name, but the Hart alumni from the 50's and early '60's still speak about the family with fondness and respect. Nan

Vfm4 is correct, Leon. The actor in the picture is definitely Sterling, not Smiley. I can almost hear Sterling's unique voice when I look at that picture. Nan

I use to live in Newhall/Saugus area from 1957 to 1987 and loved it. I now lived up by Yosemite, but still go down to Saugus to see my brother's who still live there. It was great reading about the old times and brought back many memories. thanks for the great web site.

Years ago (in the 1930's) I would listen to a radio series about the Death Valley Days and the 20 mule team. The show would start with a haunting brass horn playing a mournful melody supposedly a redention announcing the arrival of the 20 mule team. I will carry that tune to my grave!

I grew up in Canyon Country. 1968 to 1990. It was a great place to grow up in. Alot of walkings up to Thrifty's Drug Store for a triple scoop ice cream cone for 15 cents. Also going to Grants Department Store for French Fries and a Coke in there little Diner. I also remember Newberry's and always wanting to sit on the bar stools to have a hotdog.. We always walked everywhere. I all ways contribute my good health and my weight on alot of walking and exercise in my childhood. Growing up in Canyon Country was the greatest. Also a great web site. It's where I go to show my daughter where I grew up.... Thanks

I use the borax mule train for imagery and demonstration in the investment management business. In an equally weighted portfolio, each holding is a mule pulling the wagon (the overall portfolio). We get the results of the average of the mules, not the strongest or sickest mule.

Gordon and I were married in Newhall on Feb. 4, 1958. I graduated from Hart High that same year. Gordon worked for Standard Stations and I worked for Southern California Gas at Newhall. Both children were born while we were there. We left in 1963 and are enjoying all these wonderful photos and memories...........Thanks.
