My Grandmother Grew up in Camino, I lived at Blair's Mill, above Pacific House, up until the yr before the Ice House Fire Burnt the Whole Country Up. We Lived at Cedar Grove, where I went to school at Pollock Pines in 59-61, Then Down to Union Ridge, till I graduated El Dorado High in 70..My Dad was the Millwright at Michigan Cal for a few yrs in the 60's, and I use to have to walk down to the mill and catch a ride home, for getting in trouble...I, and a Bunch of People who Grew up, in and Around Placerville, have a Page on Face Book." You Know You Grew Up in Placerville Ca AKA Hangtown Ca If ....." a Lot of Stories and Pictures have been Posted about Pino Grande. My Family had Friends who had Kids and Lived, and went to School at Pino, and Later Lived at Blairs Mill also, and went to school at Camino, and High School. I've been Planning to Model Pino Grande, and The Mill Area at Slab Crk. in N Scale. In Doing my Research for History and Pictures, I came accross a Picture of Your Speeder, sitting Next to Engine # 8 Shay, in Front of The Engine House...Reply and I will send you a Copy of it....it's from the front at about a 45 deg angle, and you can see another one behind it...As a Child, in the Early 60's, Our Family and The Hoosier's went out, and spent the Day Crawd Dad Hunting on Slab Creek, at the Old Mill Site...The Valley was Open, with short brush around the Creek, with the White Wall of the Dry Kilns, The Only thing Standing Out, in the valley.. And had been out to South Cable Point in the Mid-70's. I did get to ride on the tourist RR, that made a Go at Camino, and my Mother was a Girl Scout Leader, who had their meetings at the old Superintendents House, that sat at Hwy 50 and Larsen Rd. Sadly, the Mill and Box Factory Have and Are, Being Torn Down, as reported by Friends still Living in Camino.... Thanks for your Stories, My History and Families History was tied to Lumber and Michigan Cal Lumber Co....Thanks Again Lee Rogers I'll send ya the Photo, of your Speeder, when you reply....Laters.....

I knew Ken for about five short years, as I was interested in his flying for Pan Am airlines. I too am an airline pilot. Anyways, Ken was one of the nicest men I ever met. I played tennis with him a few times. What I couldn't believe was the man I was playing was 99 years old and the history he has participated in. Every time I fly into the SF bay area, I tell the story of Pan Am and Ken Beer and the flying he did in the Pacific. My passengers love the stories and most never knew any of it. I was honored to know Ken, and I cherish the time we played tennis and talked aviation. I will also say I was honored to make a toast in his memory for his final gone west flight. Stanton Wyman.

I too am an aficionado of Ken. I grew up a Pan Am brat and Ken and his family were an important part of my youth. Did you know that Ken was a great skier and even wrote a book on the Art of How to Fall. I skied with Ken and his family in Portillo, Chili in the sixties. I remember playing tennis with Ken when he was an old man of seventy and being told to just watch my alley and he would get to everything else; and he did. I too never won a match from ken nor did I ever NOT lose a race to the bottom of Squaw Peak. I had lost touch with Ken and thank you for informing me of the last year of his fabulous life. Thank you, Allan Hale George,
