Back in the 1959, my best friend at the time lived in a house on Bellaire Ave, in North Hollywood, CA. The area was quite rural at that time. The house was at one time the home of Clint Walker. Since Mike’s father was an architect I think that he designed Clint’s new home and he purchased the old one.
It was on a huge lot of a half-acre. There were hung trees in the front (I believe eucalyptus) that had several ropes hanging from them. I was told that Clint would use those trees for his upper body workouts. There was a treehouse in the back yard, or more like platform in a tree. My friend Mike backed off that platform falling and breaking his arm in two places.
