Some of the trees were bare of leaves, but nobody noticed. A light rain fell, but nobody noticed. London during the Christmas season was transformed by glittering lights and fanciful window displays. It was Christmas in London as I had always pictured it: trees draped with white lights and garlands of pine boughs tied with red velvet ribbons. The air was crisp and men were wearing black overcoats, derby hats and carrying fashionable canes. Big Ben was striking six and I was walking towards Westminster Bridge with hours of sho...
In the cheer world of the 21st century it is not only the jumps and cartwheels that entertain, it is now high kicks, clever dance moves and the swish of pom-poms, which are reminiscent of the days when schools boasted both cheerleaders and songleaders. The first songleader squad at Fallbrook High performed during the 1947-1948 school year. It consisted of three members, one of whom was Marion Pearson McLean, who recalls wearing her uniform to school on game days, a tradition that has continued to this day. However, the 2005...
As a child, it’s the place that I envisioned when I closed my eyes. White stone buildings with delicate gold-leafed spires. White swans floating on placid canals.

On December 27, 2004, a missions group of about 25 left Fallbrook for Cambodia on a two-and-a-half week ministry trip led by Randy Fleming and Kit Carson. The trip was sponsored by Calvary Chapel of Fallbrook and the Fallbrook Christian Book Store. Since the first Christian missionaries weren’t allowed in Cambodia until 1992, the mission team found that there is still a lot of work to be done. Randy is now back in Cambodia working on the orphanage that will be built by Calvary Chapel of Fallbrook and other ministries. Several...
