San Diego, known for its perfect weather, naval ties and landmarks like the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, has a history as incredible as its stunning shoreline. In this collection of articles from his San Diego Union-Tribune column "The Way We Were," Richard W. Crawford recounts stories from the city's early history that once splashed across the headlines. Read about Ruth Alexander's aviation feats, the water pipeline carved from Humboldt County redwoods, the jailbreak of a man facing ten years in San Quentin for cow theft, a visit from escape artist Harry Houdini and the Purity League's closure of the Stingaree red-light district. These stories highlight San Diego's progress from a humble frontier port to the stylish city it is today.

I stood in front of the headstone which read ‘Rita Rocca Nee Tomlin (15/6/1942 - 21/10/2020)’ and thought, ‘Is this all there is? Her name on a headstone with mine to follow.’ I remembered a warm May Day in 1948, when we both kneeled at the same altar waiting for a priest to give us our first taste of Jesus. She, in her white dress, was wondering if the day would yield enough for a new doll and pram, while I wondered if mine would yield enough for roller skates and maybe a new football. I recalled the honeymoon in Jersey in 1963, Miss World at the Royal Albert Hall in 1980, and the ball that followed at the Savoy Hotel. I said, “Sorry girl, I can’t give you a Taj Mahal, but I will write a book, which will hopefully make us more than just names on a tombstone.”

The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time goes By is the perpetual endeavor to express the spirit of the times, to surpass the body and search the life for a Soul. The body is always flowing away with time – therefore I must recapture and preserve some part of it in meaningful symbols and pictures and words. The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time Goes By contains 400 poems and 74 pictures of women and men, animals and cars, vineyards and wineries. SAMPLE POEM I love a bottle of wine A loaf of French Bread, and A basket of delights. I desire an afternoon in a tree house with Hallie, Riding out on a bough, Over the Peace River. Canoes are drifting by beneath us, White puffy clouds in the sky. Paradise out in the wilderness, Paradise even now! Like Willie Nelson, I have offered my musing to all the college girls I have loved before. Without them no poetry of love, remorse, affairs of the heart would be possible. The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time Goes By is the story of my life and philosophy from the perspective of my excitable imagination.

San Diego today is a vibrant and bustling coastal city, but it wasn't always so. The city's transformation from a rough-hewn border town and frontier port to a vital military center was marked by growing pains and political clashes. Civic highs and criminal lows have defined San Diego's rise through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries into a preeminent Sun Belt city. Historian Richard W. Crawford recalls the significant events and one-of-a-kind characters like benefactor Frank "Booze" Beyer, baseball hero Albert Spalding and novelist Scott O'Dell. Join Crawford for a collection that recounts how San Diego yesterday laid the foundation for the city's bright future.

From New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey, “one of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century”* comes a novel about the how one chance meeting can change everything in this thrilling, sexy tale of star-crossed lust. They say the love of money is the root of all evil, but for Ken Swift, it's the love of a woman. Ken is twenty-one, hurting people for cash to try to pay his way through college, when he lays eyes on Jimi Lee, the woman who will change the course of his entire life. What's meant to be a one-night stand with the Harvard-bound beauty turns into an explosion of sexual chemistry that neither can quit. And when Jimi Lee becomes pregnant, their two very different worlds collide in ways they never could have anticipated. Passion, infidelity, and raw emotion combine in Eric Jerome Dickey's poignant, erotic portrait of a relationship: the rise, the fall, and the scars—and desire—that never fade. *The New York Times

Hello .... My name is R. Augusta Hammond. I would like to try to give you some insight as to the contents of this book. I have been a lover of books ever since I was a little boy in grade school. I have my fourth grade teacher to thank for that. Mrs. Jones, her real name, was a wonderful teacher and very patient. When I became a teenager, I fell in love with science fiction and history and math. Let me say, and of course you know this, that Edgar Rice Burroughs, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and many of the other writers of my age gave me so many enjoyious hours of reading and adventure. I thought the time had come to give something back. Only a few people in my book are real. All the people that we rescued are real. All the rest are fictitious and any similarity to anyone living or dead is not intended. I made up the names.
