... LOVE STORY: Reader Carl Kroll sent me a nice note to recall how he met the love of his life while stationed at Minter Field. ''I was a captain in the Air Force flying missions in England and was stationed at Minter. I was from New York but I met and married the love of my life here, Venita Cassidy Kroll, and remained here to work and raise our family. I am now 89 years old and have fond memories of Bakersfield then.''
.... MEMORIES: And some of those memories from Kroll are the watering holes in Bakersfield during World War II: Good Friends, El Adobe, Uptown Club, French Village and the Bakersfeld In. All had bands playing Sentimental Journey, Iĺl Be Seeing you in all the Familiar Places and those great old tune, he said.
