Bruce Campbell Adamson PO Box 3511 Santa Cruz, CA, 95063

I now and then think of people and thought that I have been lucky to meet them and may use it in the future for an outline of a book or historical background. I may have left some out and will add then upon recalling. Living in Los Angeles area one can meet many people. There are many that I may have slipped my memory.

Keep recalling names, places and dates. When I met the individuals I was not known to them. Few people are allowed the opportunity to meet so many people. I would go into a business and story telling which inspired me to make the list. There may be an error in dates, yet not intentional. May come up with other names and some are inter-connected with other names. Takes a while to get mind and memory in order. I have had friends who were not know to the public that were much more important to me and my memories. Yet this list helps me keep my memory in order.
