Sad news

[Gene]

I live in Orange County, Calif, home of the Angels baseball team. Disneyland and Knotts Berry farm. In the city of Tustin is a former Marine Corp air base with two WW2 era blimp hangers, used to house blimps to patrol the coast line. I've been there inside in the past, they were/are magnificent and 17 stories high, Luckily, one still survives, but due to an unknown cause, the other is a total loss. They are/were so big inside they had their own weather inside, including rain!

Very sad news indeed.
