Only good things come from the LB

July 08, 1962

You and your sister Kelsey always said, "only good things come from the LB!" I was born in Long Beach, California to Bob and Barbara Ellis and arrived into the world at 12:25 a.m.  I was a half sister to Diane, Debbie, Bob Jr., and Stan.  My dad was a professional boat racer and worked for Southern California Edison while my mom worked for Cycle World Magazine.  I have to admit it always sounded cool that I was born in Long Beach especially while growing up in Arizona.  It was you who told me that Paradise Bakery and Snoop Dog were from the LB.  I definitely like cookies but was never sure about the Snoop Dog thing! Although I was born in Long Beach, we resided in Compton and Downey. I am a fifth generation Californian!
