A Gender-Crossed Tale of Another Toby : Oh, Those Good Old Days

Michael McGrorty’s “His Best Girl” (May 10) reminded me of how much fun it is to read about growing up in Los Angeles--about things only a SoCal kid can recall.

There’s the Helms Bakery man, or recollections of hot summer nights when my dad would take us to the Music Center to run barefoot around the edges of the fountains.

Thanks to McGrorty, these stories are still fresh in my mind.
