  If living today, my brother-in-law would be 96 years old. Before the war, he joined the Air Corps. President Roosevelt felt that the war was coming, so he ordered the Air Corps to send 12 men on a secret mission to England to learn to fly against the Germans.

  I don’t remember exactly when it happened. But I do remember exactly how I felt when it did.
  I was about 7 years old as I sat in the passenger seat of a car, while a relative was driving me somewhere. Suddenly, another car drove next to us. The driver and passenger appeared to be teenage boys. Possibly, they were in their early 20’s. I suppose their age wasn’t important. What was very important were the two words I was about to hear, words that would change my life.

• Nuclear waste solutions critical for all Southern Californians

  06-06-2019 21:02
  
  Storing nuclear waste on-site at nuclear power plants across the country is an accident waiting to happen. After over 50 years of multiple attempts, the federal government has failed, and continues to fail, to find a solution to our country’s nuclear waste problem.
  But just because Washington isn’t talking about it doesn’t make the nuclear waste problem, or its grave risks, disappear. Without a permanent geological repository for our nation’s high-level nuclear waste, San

  “That was an incredible margarita.” 
  That’s the thought that keeps repeating itself in my head after eating at Hidalgo’s in Fullerton. The drink was a tamarind margarita, the best of that genre that I’ve tasted in years. 
  Located in the atmospheric Villa del Sol, the recently revamped Hidalgo’s (formerly Cafe Hidalgo, now with new owners) has long been a charming place to enjoy a drink. After the subtle revamp, it’s an even better place to

  If you’ve ever wanted to grow a bonsai, you only need to visit a nursery that specializes in these twisting miniature trees.
  Bonsai, which came to Japan from China in the 12th century, is the art of growing a “tree in a tray.” From a few inches to 5 feet tall, these dwarfed species – including maples, elms, junipers, black pine, gingkos, olives, boxwoods – are wired, pruned and staged in pots to mimic a mature, full-size tree in the wild.
