I miss the La Jolla site. I have good memories go to UCSD with my Dad in the late 70's

I miss the Carson training camp, I live in Long Beach so it was very close. Fan apprieciation last year wasn't very good because they only signed autographs for kids 12 and under....they should include EVERYONE!
