• Notes

  Custom Field:<_FA#> 1 Dec 1949Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA _MENDDeath of one spouse Guil & Bea were married in Losangeles then stopped at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA. They then left on their honeymoon, driving their 1923 ModelT Ford, to Torrey Pines, CA, where they spent the night camping. On their way through San Bernardino they stopped at a roadside stand and bought a gallonof green olives, which were completely consumed by the time they got to thetop of El Cajon Pass. This love of olives was passed down through all furthergenerations of Aikins. They then drove through Flagstaff, AZ to Grand Canyon. They encountered steep grades which the car could not negotiate because thegas tank, just forward of the windshield, fed the engine via gravity feed. So, Guil turned the car around and backed up the grades. This solved the gravity problem. During their courtship, and even after their marriage, they tookweekend trips to such faraway places as Carmel, CA, Cambria, Death Valley, Mount Whitney, Old Baldy, Idlewilde, Palm Desert, (Palm Springs was yet to be built), Tijuana & Escondido, Mexico. Considering the lack of decent roads, and the unreliability of cars in the 20's, this was considered an act of daring do!!
