What the...?

I don't know how long Canutt had been living in Santa Clarita, but if he was
there long enough I might have known him...I lived in Newhall, just four blocks
from the William S Hart estate that was turned into a county park in 1945, from
1961-69...(Newhall became part of Santa Clarita some time in the '80s)....

That's also where Marilyn Chambers was living at the time of her passing a few
years back....r

The original posts don't seemed to have propagated to
