My name is Greg and I live in “Quake City” Whittier, CA. My town is called ‘quake city’ because of a 5.9M earthquake that hit the town on Oct. 1st, 1987 during the centennial year (100 years) of the founding of our town. The local Quaker City Bank sign lost an ‘R’ ; this was photographed for the local newspaper and the name of ‘quake city’ caught on among local citizens.
I have lived here most of my life. I am married to my wife Alma and we have a son at CS Fullerton, Christopher. I enjoy studying earthquakes, local history, NFL Football History, wine, cigars, football cards, coins and golf. I worked at Trader Joe’s for 15+ years; I am semi-retired at the moment, but I may return to the company in Oct. ‘08.
I have an online eBay store www.stores.ebay.com/Holiday-Bros-Art-and-Gift-Gallery. If you are looking for stained glass, decorator, gift or collectible items, please check out my site.
Please comment on anything I have posted or post something you think would be interesting, regardless of whether you agree with me or not. I welcome all opinions, but please avoid the use of profanity or put downs–that’s for adolescents!!
