History
Family Photo Album (more of interest to my family than to Web surfers) My parents loved the Riviera Golf Course and Country Club. I played in Rustic Canyon collecting pollywogs and watercress from the "creek." There were numerous Fourth of July baseball games in Rustic Canyon. "The Riviera" hosted dance cotillions, where I also attended my first prom (Paul Revere Junior High School, Ninth Grade Prom, May 1961).

Norma Carter, circa 1942. Mom and Dad were avid golfers. When they played the Riviera Country Club golf course in 1946, they had found "golf heaven." They bought our home within two months. |

"A natural flair for marketing." |
One of the selling points of this home was the "outdoor" recreation/family room, overlooking Rustic Canyon. It housed a huge BBQ/Fireplace, covered Ping-Pong table area, dining area and wet bar. With the nearly perfect weather (and few insects!) in Pacific Palisades, they knew they'd entertain there constantly. Dad was quite proud of his canyon view, streamline-styled "rec room" which had radiant heat in the concrete slab floors (quite an innovation).
