Well thank goodness. Hopefully that will end this for at least the next 10-15 years, which seems to…Read More be the cycle. The idea that the Light Brigade was somehow misled by the School Board was a twisting of the facts to justify the lawsuit. If anyone was misled, it was the School Board.

Ban the bikers...... There really needs to be a law about bikers. Saturday, on PV Dr S, at least…Read More 100 of them blocking the east bound lane. Having NO consideration of the traffic jam they were causing and NOT getting out of the friggin way. It will take an accident and one of these moron bikers to get hurt for something to be done.

Jerry, although not original from here, became a true L.A. native. The truest, perhaps, than any…Read More luminary in memory. Like Randy Newman, he LOVED L.A. He reflected the dichotomous nature of Angelenos -- down to earth and hip Hollywood glamour. The chants in rival arenas when the Lakers played ("Beat L.A.") simply revealed their envy of Los Angeles and an erroneous image of L.A. as purely superficial and phony. True, Buss was flamboyant and a playboy. But he was also a self-made man, rising from his austere humble upbringing in Iowa where he rummaged trash cans for phone books to use as firewood to heat the tiny home he lived in with his mother.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jerry Buss at Chasens restaurant where I was celebrating my mom and dad's anniversary. I was shocked when mom walked right up to his table and introduced herself as his mother's hair stylist. I had no idea. "Is this your granddaughter?" she asked. No mom, she wasn't. And I hadn't the heart to inform mom of Buss's lifestyle.
We can only hope any sibling rivalry amongst the Buss children will be put to rest in the interest of Los Angeles ... and to honor the memory of the greatest owner in sports franchise history.

Thanks, Jerry, for giving L.A. such a GREAT basketball team all these years. We won't see the likes…Read More of you again. R.I.P.

Truly a nice man, very down to earth, did not flaunt his wealth. I was a news photographer covering…Read More the LA` sports scene, when Buss purchased the JKC sports domain we all asked who is this guy (none of us in the media had ever heard of him)?
He turned out be a blessing to the LA sports scene, he was approachable, taking time to converse with you and was always humble. Just a plain nice man. Unlike Cook he was always present at his teams games and did not sit in the owners box but among the ordinary fans. RIP Dr Buss your legacy will remain long after any of us have departed

Thanks for the note, Tina. I'm changing them right now so they're Pacific Time.

Lots of folks think they can do it on their own; many have tried, most have failed. If…Read More professionals like Tiger Woods for example, still need a coach to improve, who are we as "simple" lay people to think we don't need one. I can attest to the benefits of having someone like Jason Terry in your corner. Great article. -George Fotion www.homeispalosverdes.com
