Kathryn, Obituaries are just about impossible to find in Los Angeles. I will only do look-up's on deaths that were in someway newsworthy, such as murders, accidents, etc. That said, I think there is a good possibility that this accident WOULD be available, and I will add it to my list. BTW, I grew up in nearby Highland Park, and attended Eagle Rock High School. Are your roots in Eagle Rock? Right now I have about five obits waiting to be researched. One is plane crash in Torrance, a couple of car crashes, etc. On Friday I went to my favorite library and was disappointed to see an elderly man sitting there looking at an old L.A. Times. I got my microfilms and set them next to his machine,(there is only one working machine at this library, but it is almost always available). Well, next thing I notice is that this guy has fallen asleep on the machine! I make a little bit of noise, and his eyes open and he continues to read. A couple of minutes later, he nods off again. Well, you get the picture. The library was approaching their closing time, so I postponed my searches until another day.

Is there anyway to find out about this? Thanks in advance, Kathryn --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness
