Early on she bought one of those Brownie Box Cameras and took lots of photos. We were still using that box camera well into the 1950"s.<BR/><BR/>Then my brother, Giovanni Primo, took photography in school and bought a new 'fangle' camera. It never worked as well as that old box camera.<BR/><BR/>Sempre Avanti. ivnoIvano Franco Comellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088771740643993831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-49726084477227296052008-07-07T08:07:00.000-07:002008-07-07T08:07:00.000-07:00Dear Bud: The store that was closest to the Ocean...Dear Bud: The store that was closest to the Ocean View Hotel was the "Cash Store". It was not attached to the hotel but it was located in the building next door (just south of it) which also housed the Post Office. The store that you are talking about close to the school was probably "Gregory's" on the north-east corner of the Coast Road and Ocean View (The street the school is located on.) There was also a store on the south-east corner at that location named the Miramar. I have written about all these sites and also Bonny Doon in my book "La Nostra Costa" (Our Coast). If you are interested in some fairly recent North Coast History (1923-1983) written in narrative form, you might want to order it from Authorhouse Publishers. You can get it on line at: www.authorhouse.com , or order by telephone: 1-888-280-7715. It can also be ordered through your favorite bookstore. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Keep in touch: IvnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-6040584383575586252008-07-07T08:02:00.000-07:002008-07-07T08:02:00.000-07:00Hello Ivan, Bud Guzman here.

It's 5:30 a:m, and I'm heading off to the high school, so I'll add more info when I return home this afternoon. Thanks, Buddy Guzman <BR/><BR/><BR/>Bud Guzman wrote: <BR/>Hi Craig, wanted to thank you for forwarding this,also Gino Campioni. I did speak to F. Serna, and he did live in the same town as I did. He could not help with the info I was looking for, but he did give me a number to try. What I did find interesting though was looking at the picture on Ivan's blog showing the old Davenport (Ocean View) Hotel. It felt like I saw what I remember to be the entrance to the little store I remember charging lunch at on my uncles account. Would this hotel be the one right across from the old school? And the store being attached to it, it would mean I was looking at the front of that store for the first time in many years. I still do not have a time frame I attended school there, but if this is indeed the store, then I will be making the effort to enlarge the picture, and that little piece of the puzzle is not only intriguing to me, but very endearing. <BR/><BR/>I work part time at the local school district print shop, and would be making a poster size of it. I'm also looking forward to wearing a tee shirt saying "Official Bonny Dooner", of course I would like to add the dates I attended school.

Ivano I have not forgotten La Nostra Costa. You have some excellent photos. The one photo with Reno and his parents and you is priceless. You must have an infinite archive. You will have to collect all your photos and permanently load them on a CD for future reference. Take care and a Special Happy 4th of July to all the Furlans and friends Su per La CostaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-22652499851148006792008-07-02T07:41:00.000-07:002008-07-02T07:41:00.000-07:00Ciao Ivano,Reading the article on the Blog by Budd...Ciao Ivano,<BR/><BR/>Reading the article on the Blog by Buddy Guzman has brought to mind a lady who was a good friend of Pia Mazzei and my mother, Ada Campioni.<BR/><BR/>They used to refer to her as "La Spagnolina", but used to say that her name was Nana Guzman.<BR/><BR/>She was very well liked by the Italian women, though communication was partly Spanish to Italian and vice versa.<BR/><BR/>I remember seeing her at our house once, a time long ago.<BR/><BR/>Saluti, GinoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31758730.post-71901311884705947242008-06-20T16:54:00.000-07:002008-06-20T16:54:00.000-07:00Thanks Claudia: I added the names to the photo. ...Thanks Claudia: I added the names to the photo.

The exact location was just behind where the Bonny Doon Wine Tasting Room stands today. I do not believe that the fire did damage there.<BR/><BR/>As I write in "La Nostra Costa" we had many a picnic at that location.<BR/>Great Fun.
