AND FINALLY Today’s California memory is from Boris Roberts: Growing up in the Monterey Bay during the late ’60s through the ’70s and ’80s was a very good time to be alive.

And we had to have good grades in school to be allowed to go race, so that really focused most of us to do well in school. You could race two, three and sometimes four races a week if you wanted. There were racetracks in several central California locations, something that isn’t there anymore. It was a very good time. If you have a memory or story about the Golden State,[share it with us](.
