MARIAN'S MEMORIES
You
Know You're a 
Lompoc
Native When...
...you
know what a Snowy Plover is!
-- by Kimalee Vargas
...you
remember that day the wind stopped... and everybody fell over.

of Rivenrock Gardens
...as
a kid, each time you went into Hall's Bakery, you got a free
sugar cookie.

...you
went to Stadley's Market across from the old airport (where
the Penney's Shopping Center began) with your family.
When
Mr. Stadley came out to help put the groceries in the trunk
of the car, some of our chickens were still sitting on the bumper,
having ridden the 7 miles or so with us! They laughed, put the
chickens in bags, and we took them back home... laughter filled
the car!
