A memory of MCRD-SD.
 "The Hotel El Cortez , was just east of the airport. Many a night while on clothesline watch I would watch the outside elevator go up and down like big bug and I wondered about the people using it.  We could also see it as we drilled on the grinder. I vowed that some day I too would ride it .I did in 1960, at the time it was the only outside glass elevator in the world. Today it is condos and shops".
