My name is Russell Chapin I am a Junior at Saint Augustine High School, I am doing a project for my history class on the cultural impact of OB, past and present. If you have any sources that I could use for my project, mainly general information, possibly major players in the early development of the community, any information on the wonerland theme park, pictures or other medium, it would be greatly appreciated. It is due in the next couple of weeks so if you could reply soon it would be greatly appreciated. you can reach me through the provided email address. thank you
Profuse apologies for not contacting you in time to be useful for your paper. I hope you were able to find information elsewhere. If you want to try another topic or expand on this one later, I hope to be more helpful.
A family member was with the Army Corp of Engineers at Point Loma in the 1920’s-1930’s. His
immediate family found a couple of pictures of the
Ballast Point Area. One is a panorama of 6 photos pieced together dated 1905 by Photographer Lee Passmore. It is framed, and in good condition, in my opinion. The other is a photo referencing construction at the sub base wharf noted as about 1909.
Would your group be interested in these? The San Diego Historical Society returned them because they
apparently had similar photos in their collection.
I am hopeful they can find a home. I hate to put 100-year old history in the trash!
Hey OB Historicals - we’re looking for old OB Rags and would like to meet with someone from the group - the archivist - and see which issues you have. We know you have some, as our friends have turned their copies over to you over the years. Please contact me.
Hello,
I am currently doing research for a book about the darker side of San diego history. My father in law, in OB since 1956 told me of a double homicide at an OB hotel during the 1960’s still unsolved. Does anyone have any information on this? You may also call me at 619-917-1627. Thank you!

Just move to OB and noticed an interesting poem on the wall at the post office . . . does anyone know where I might obtain a copy of that?
Thanks.
