I grew up in the Oxnard and Camarillo areas — 1955 through 1975. I love going back to see how the are has changed, or remained the same through the years. Wagon Wheel is one area that brings back fond memories. I would like to see this area preserved in some form. Building something new is not always the best — there is alot to be said for history.

I lived in Woodland Hills until I was 10 (1967). My Father, Cyrill Monkman, was a Captain in the LA County Fire Department. As he was home at odd hours, one of the special things he would do with me on some Saturdays was to drive the 101 the have breakfast at the Wagon Wheel – always pancakes. It was a huge part of our lives, and such a landmark from the road. we would then go down PCH to Topanga then home. Dad died in 1999 atage 82 – it would be nice to see Oxnard in some way not forget a past that speaks of simple and special times for many people – there wer many travelers from LA area who loved Oxnard just because of the Wagon Wheel.

I know time for public comment is past, but if whoever reads this can know they spread a little cheer with the info on the Wagon Wheel. Thanks Frank Monkman
