If I wrote to Steve, would he be so kind as to help me with a question I have about The Pollock Pines Epic?

So excited to find this website. I grew up in Pollock Pines in the late 50′s and early 60′s. My parents operated the Suzy Q Motel which later became Wrights Motel. I went to Pollock Pines Elementary and Pinewood before we moved to Cedar Grove and Camino. I still have family out there and try to visit whenever I can. My Grandparents lived in the same house for over 40 years. It was the one right next door to the Elementary School and I remember my 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Wilson lived right next door to them. Such great memories.

Thanks Dale, I do need to go clean some things up. I know some pictures got lost during a site move awhile back, and I just haven’t taken the time to go back through it completely yet. But your note may be the “prodding” I need…

A small number of photos not able to display in your pages. If you want a list, I can provide.

I love the website. I found a 1st edition in the bookstore in Placerville and read it cover to cover a few times. Recently found this website and registered for updates and blog. Very fun site. Thanks.

Hello,

Wow what a trip back in time. I grew up in Pollock Pines and attended Pollock Pines Elementary. We lived in the Pollock house for about 15 years. The hamburger place that used to be next to the house was a doctors office. I remember my dad installing a septic system and digging up the old bottles and bones!

I remember 50 grand buring down. My grandfather and my dad went inside to try to put the fire out as I stood outside. I havent been back there in about 10 years but now I need to go back. Good page and please fix the pictures.

Thanks,
Jeff Laybourne

Hi Steve:

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I was talking to Larry the barber in town a year ago and he mentioned your Mom’s book. Said he had a copy of it at his shop, but someone borrowed it and never returned it. I went all over the area looking for a copy and, of course, could not find one. You should let the folks at the El Dorado History Museum know you have this on-line (or tell whomever they need to let the volunteers know about it).

We bought 10 acres by Pacific House and built a place there 5 years ago. My folks have lived in this area for 25 years and had no idea of the history. Tell your Mom what a fantastic job she did. We just love this area and am glad to now have some history to go with it.

Q:
What’s the status on the missing photos? (eg – Cub scout troop picture on this page and the 50 Grand and Fire Department pics on the “Later Days” page, etc).

Thanks!

– Scott

David,

I’ll pass this on to my Mom, who wrote the book. She’ll get back to you soon.
