I did not remember that snow fell on three consecutive nights! I don't think we got more than one snowfall on Berendo. Won't happen again, now, unless they dig that tunnel to Greenland that I've been recommending, the Glacial Runoff Canal? It's an incredible, incredible idea and many, many wonderful people have expressed profuse thanks to me for it! We'll make Mexico pay for it.

Thanks Al,
That pin points the date to middle to latter January 1949. We have a photo of an L.A Timeswith the snow headline dated January 12, 1949. The magazine used for the splint was probably and old issue as Mike explains. If it were a Life magazine it might have been the one with Eisenhower on the cover, but could have been one of many others. Speak up Dave. Which one was it? :-)

I remember that Larry and I were playing in the construction area when they were just starting to move dirt around. It was evening and the first snowflakes started to fall. That night the snow fell and all was white in the morning. That was in 1949.--On Oct 22, 2016, at 10:24 AM, 'Mike Dumas' via South Berendo Days <southberendo@googlegroups.com > wrote:Some web sources say the Southside was built I 1950, but this picture http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics49/ 00074307.jpg shows it playing My Friend Irma, which came out in 1949. (You may recall that the Southside showed the same movie earlier as a surprise preview. Yuli had a hunch it would be MFI --she followed the movie news-- and we went to see it then.) I remember Dave as being nine at the time of the broken arm, which means MFI was one of the first movies shown at the Southside. He must have broken it pretty early in 1949, because the Wiki says MFI was released in August, and the theater was under construction when Dave broke his arm. He was still eight in August, so maybe he was just nine when he was still in the sling. I remember the splint as Life magazine. I'm not sure we subscribed--we got our Saturday Evening Post's in those days as castoffs from Aunt Doris, who got them, as the address label told us, from Mrs. Tuohy across 104th from the Felixes. Also, there may have been more than one magazine in the splint.--mikeOn Tuesday, October 18, 2016 2:39 PM, John Dumas <jdumasfelix@gmail.com> wrote:
Dave,--When you broke your arm back in the late 40's at the Southside Theatre building site, Dr. Beckner came to our house and used a magazine as a splint. Do you remember the month and year? And if so, do you remember anything about the magazine that was used? Was it a Life or Saturday evening post magazine. It might be fun to see what the contents of that magazine issue was.I remember that momma subscribed to several magazines in those days.Johnny
