It was such a surprise to open up this week’s Valley Center Roadrunner and see this old (very old) family photo; The best dad and mom there ever was, my brother Tom and his sister with long hair. Fifty years ago, editor and publisher Van Quackenbush, interviewed my dad, the new pastor at the Valley Center Community Church and included the story in first issue of the paper. Most of you have driven by the building, now a pharmacy, many times on your way up the mountain.
If only my folks could see the church now. Along with other friends from Palomar, we attend the new campus on Cole Grade Road and YOU are invited to visit this Sunday for Easter! Valley Center Community Church has three services for Easter at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00. We’ll be there at 9:30 with mountain neighbors and love to see you.

The entire paper from 50 years ago was reprinted in Thursday’s issue. You’ll see the local market had eggs for 59 cents a dozen and pork chops on sale for 89 cents each. Ah, the good old days!
Like your own copy of the paper? It’s available at the new Rincon Market and Roadrunner office. I’m quite sure they would do a happy dance if you subscribe through their website. Thank you David Ross, current editor for including the paper from 50 years ago. And thanks for all the great articles over the years about Palomar Mountain.
