DATELINE FRIDAY JUNE 27 SPECIAL TO SOUTH COAST SHOPPER
THEY FINALLY LOCATED TWO 'NOFRE LEGENDS, ACTUALY THREE.

Dr. James had a book published in 1996 simply titled

"SURFING SAN ONOFRE TO POINT DUME 1936--1942" Barney Wilkes

and "Peanuts" Larson are there and could, and should, be

considered of "Legiön". Although most of them have passed on to

the "other side", Freddy Beckner, Buddy Morrisey, Frank Donahue,

Tommy Zahn, "Convertable" Larry, but my all time favorite hasn't.

One of the true beacons of surfing, E.J.Oshier still maintains

his posturing at 'Nofre's cordial Wednesday evening

semi-clambake at the recently refurbished "Bamboo Room",

bringing back old and new memories, sounds of "Route 66" to Maui

Chimes, but that isn''t what my old friend E.J.'s all about.

He,along with George Freeth, Hoppy Schwartz, Pete Peterson,

Whitey Harrison, made it all happen and I'm glad they did.

Surfboard riders, such as E.J. have been "Paving the Wave" for

almost forever. E.J. OSHIER thanks for the memories.
