“I was born in the early nineteen thirties. Laguna’s population was around 2,000 growing to 4,000 as I grew up. We had only a few stop signs rolled out on weekends before adding a few signals on the main road through Laguna. My family linage is the Isch family who ran the grocery store and post office in the early nineteen twenties. The South Seas was a well-known hangout for many of the Marine Corps officers. About April of nineteen fifty-six, I met my husband, a pilot in the Marine Corps stationed at El Toro and living in Laguna. We stopped into the South Seas for a drink before going off to dinner. It was a well known hang out for locals and servicemen in the South Seas bar.”
