From Mom's, Gwen Runyard's Book: Old Pirate Lane, Huntington Beach, Ca.


"PREFACE: Old Pirate Lane" 

This is a quick resume about our
little Lane. Visitors to the Lane often
ask us about its beginning, and, as we
(the Runyards) seem to have been living
here the longest, I thought it time to set
down just a few of the things I
remember, or have, in asking questions,
been able to hear other scraps of
history. I am sure all who live on this
rustic lane are used to visitors saying
they would like to live here!!!
I hope you enjoy this short, and by
no means, complete rural history.
