ANNUAL PILOT REMINDERS |
The birds have finished their courting, have paired up and started building their nests. This reminder is not only for airplanes parked outside, those parked in hangars are fair game to the new parents-to-be to find a safe out-of-the-way, protected area for their babies. Check your cowlings carefully!!!!!
While you are checking your cowling, watch where your feet are. This friendly little guy was found a couple of years ago in a hangar in one of the Mid-North rows.
With the weather peaking out in the 80s, the wild life around Cable is waking up from their not-too-long of a winter’s nap, and will be exploring their territories.
This 24 inch baby rattler was found heading into Mike Polley's hangar last week. |
John Brewert Gone West
The airport has had many different people travel in, stay and then take flight for yonder blue skies. Unless you were around the airport between the years 1964-1969, you would have never known this man and his family. I remember as a young boy of 10, when there was a change to the café. A man by the name of John Brewert, and his family, came to America from Arabia and settled in Upland in the 1960’s. In 1965, they transformed the “Café” into the Arabian Nights Restaurant. This would be a time in the café’s history, which took it from a café, to an exquisitely decorated Arabian dinner house. With it’s lush dark interior, high backed black, button tucked chairs and booths, and ornate tapestries and art.
His wife Bahija was the Chef, his 15-year-old daughter Florence was the server, along with 17 year old son Nelson as the matre d’. The restaurant had many articles and letters of thanks over its brief time, about 3 years, before moving to a location along Foothill Blvd. The attached pictures are taken from a booklet that John compiled of the different articles and letters from the restaurant guest book. There are but a few remembrances left of that time gone by, and now we say good-bye to another friend, on March 29, 2010 John Duncan Brewert passed on.
