I recently met with Marty Thorpe of Stockton and he gave me this awesome photo. (Thanks Marty) That's him with his hot rod in front of the Islander's Latitude 20 lounge in 1968. He was about 19 in the photo.

The Latitude was 3,500 sq ft and extended west from the Main Islander building. The entrance was facing the same direction as the Islander's.

Note the Islanders roof line, how small it seems in the distance.
