My son did an article on resorts of the past in the San Gabriels. Frankly, I don't recall knowing about the Baldy Summit Inn!

I agree with Rico about the folks back then.
And a very interesting article.

Ditto ditto on those two sentences.

Augie, I think your son did a great job on that article, respect... a great insight of how things used to be.

Amazing to see how drastically things have changed in such a relatively short amount of time...
