  1. One of the biggest regrets I have was my father moving the family from the valley to Oregon when I was a teen. I should have returned when I left home but by then I had fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest. But, I would have loved to have hung around Laurel Canyon in the late 60s - early 70s. The first time I got high on weed was at a house on Laurel Canyon Blvd near Oxnard St. My friend had somehow met these "hippie guys" so we went over there and smoked with them. I remember they had Quicksilver Messe ger Service playing on the stereo. I had only started smoking pot about a month before. I had just turned 13. Crazy (stupid?) stuff I did back then. I sometimes wonder if those men were "anybody". They were very nice and made absolutely no attempt to do anything with us (well, except get us high).
