It turns out that she used to go to the Hawaiian Gardens in it's prime. She had many fond memories of her visits there "truly a wonderful place". She also remember that after the Bartons sold the HG that Fred Barton set up a store in a vacant store front downtown and sold off the contents of the resort! Everything was sold, dishes, furniture it all went. All of the money that was made from the sale went to a local church charity and then the store front was vacant once more. I would have loved to have been at that sale.
