A person would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful venue than the Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens for its inaugural “Jazz & Wine in the Gardens.” The music was outstanding, the treats at the food stations were first rate, and most of the wines I tasted were commendable.

The first class host, Michael Paulo, of the jazz performances was delightful and an excellent sax player. Paulo began his musical portion of... Full story

The cardiac wellness program at Fallbrook Hospital has 40-50 current enrollees and has hundreds of alumni, with some...
The recent jazz and wine event at the Grand Tradition gets a “10.” I was skeptical to attend the first jazz and wine concert, as there are often bugs the first time out the gate.

The gardens were so beautiful, and the “tastes” were very plentiful, high quality, and very tasty. The wine “tastes” were four-ounce pours of some very good...

She has been involved in rescuing GSPs for 25 years, and sadly, the numbers abandoned to shelters and...
I was in World War II, 2nd Armed Division, 41 Armed Regiment FCO in 1944. We had a black artillery company that gave us artillery support every one in a while. One day I was sitting in my fox hole, all alone, and I heard this black artillery company sing “Old Susanna” as the artillery came over my fox hole, giving (heck) to the enemy. It made me realize I was not alone. I sang along with the artillery company. That made my day for me. I wanted to thank those great guys, a lot. It was great for me to hear them and I have nev...
