I didn't have any interest at the time. I was a snotty little 20 year old and he had a reputation of being a "weirdo" by that time. How many, many times I now regret not going out to at see see the hub bub. What a wonderful opportunity it was to have worked for such a great company - I regret too I didn't realize that at the time. -AlyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350406615166417147.post-46143269195156748162012-12-11T09:43:40.770-08:002012-12-11T09:43:40.770-08:00I have a card catalog from the Hughes Aircraft off...I have a card catalog from the Hughes Aircraft office for sale. It's missing some drawers but has a steel label that reads Hughes Aircraft. I am located in L.A. I am not a store and dont usually sell things. But perhaps there is interest in this circle of people?

The one I did was hosted by the Los Angeles Conservancy so you should sign up for their email list and/or follow on Facebook/Twitter and consider joining as a member. If I hear of another tour of the campus I will post it on the Avoiding Regret Facebook page as I believe it's an extremely rare opportunity. The site is active as a movie set so usually access is quite limited.Sandi Hemmerleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500439516140538378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350406615166417147.post-33042317217947514922012-01-09T11:34:12.490-08:002012-01-09T11:34:12.490-08:00is there anyway to get access to the property this...is there anyway to get access to the property this year?
