I live in Los Feliz, one of Los Angeles' GREAT neighborhoods with my wife Donna Jean, and our dogs, Buddy and Maggie, and our pet Caique, Zach. Living and working in our neighborhood is such a wonderful experience We live at the foot of GRIFFITH PARK, a true urban wilderness, where we can take an afternoon hike with the dogs, visit the Greek Theater, explore the universe at the G.P. Observatory or have a Sunday picnic in Fern Glen (that's just for starters). Our office is just a mile away, but usually we prefer to work at home. We are fortunate to live in a historic old Spanish Revival home, the Beaton House "La Casa Contenta", once the home of Fred and Ron Beaton--the brothers who at one time owned and operated KIEV radio station before the advent of television. A few years ago, we attended a New Year's Eve Party in Silver Lake, hosted by Dave Keitel and Shelley Marks. Our Council Member Tom LaBonge was there, and in conversation, we mentioned that we had recently moved to Los Feliz. Since Tom knows just about everything there is to know about the neighborhood, we described the house and location, and, to our amazement Tom responded, "Oh, you live in the BEATON HOUSE I used to go swimming there when I was a kid."
