Karl Rydgren (1914- ) I Remember, Unpublished Ms., 1975 [Reprinted 2005], 1933, 1929, 1924, 1920s, 1919, 1914,

     I was selling Daily News newspapers (on Sundays) at 4th and Santa Monica Boulevard, when the Ocean Park Pier Fire started. I put a cigar box on the newspapers and ran down to the fire. The fire trucks were pumping ocean sea water, because they ran out of water from the pipes."
