Adults also reap benefits from Burroughs photo lab
The Sept. 28-29 Leader front-page story about John Burroughs High
School's new state-of-the-art photo lab failed to mentioned that
through the Burbank Adult School, this same facility at the high
school is available to adults.
For 20 years, the adults have learned photography in the evening
at John Burroughs High School in beginning photo classes on Mondays,
black-and-white labs on Tuesdays, photography color classes on
Wednesdays and, beginning in the spring semester, digital photography
on Thursdays. More information about these classes is available by
calling Adult Education at 558-4611.
Many of the adult students have also received awards, from the
local Amateur Photo Contest sponsored by the Friends of the Burbank
Public Library every spring to national awards.
Also, like the day students, many of the adults eventually became
professional photographers in all fields, some of whom have worked
for the Burbank Leader.

Thanks for the speed test, but please move the radar
An open letter to the Burbank Police Department.
Dear sirs,
Those of us Burbank residents who are high-performance motor
sports enthusiasts appreciate your placing the speed radar trailer
around town so that we can test out our cars and motorcycles. Making
speed runs at the radar trailer is a very big help in tuning up our
engines.
However, it is my opinion that some very poor judgment has gone
into some of the trailer placements.
At times it has been placed near a grammar school, no more than 50
feet from stop signs, and, as can be seen in this photo, on busy main
streets with no more than 200 yards to stop for a major intersection.
These placements present a danger not only to the users of the
radar, but to other motorists in the area.
It is our request that you park the trailer on Vanowen Street
halfway between Buena Vista Street and Hollywood Way. Place it on the
north side of the street, facing Buena Vista Street, and leave it
there permanently.

Thankful for friendship, even from so far away
As I stood up with Burbankers to help break "The Glendale-Pasadena
Grip" on the Burbank Airport Authority with its negative effects and
bad public relations toward Burbankers, I came to know and appreciate
so many of you, even if you Burbankers fight one another. You all
have helped me to grow in many rich and fertile ways.
Although I have left Glendale and California, I knew through
