This part of the January 4 letter covers Saturday, December 30, 1967.
Saturday we all went to Universal Studios. The three of us had just as good a time as the first time we went. That night - thank goodness! - we ate out at an Italian restaurant called Little Joe's. The food was delicious and we all stuffed ourselves. We tried to drive around some after eating, but traffic was terrible this Rose Bowl weekend.
[Little Joe's was a historic Italian restaurant in Chinatown. It closed in 1998.]
[The Rose Bowl that year was between the #1 USC Trojans and the #4 Indiana Hoosiers. USC won 14-3 (OJ Simpson scored two touchdowns) and became national champions.]
[Although this was our second trip to Universal City Studios this month, there are still several good pictures from this trip. First up is a picture of Mom with someone made up to look like Herman Munster. At the bottom of this picture you can see the top of my head and some of my fingers. If you look closely you may be able to see Herman Munster's hand on the back of Mom's neck.]
[Next is Dad and Cliff in the same monkey cage you saw me in during our previous trip here.]
[Next is me and Ginger (Cliff's stepdaughter) pulling on a pair of giant scissors used as a prop in one of my favorite movies, "The Incredible Shrinking Man" from 1957.]
[Next, as promised in the December 4 post, is a picture of me in the elevator from "Thoroughly Modern Millie."]
[Next are pictures of me and Dad after being thrown in a combination of the pillory and stocks. I wonder how many people realized there were two left feet depicted in these stocks?]
[That concludes Part 2 of the January 4 letter. Part 3 will cover New Year's Eve. It was . . . interesting.]
