Active Sign and a Traditional Greek Dinner with Family

Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Coronado, California - Day 4



Active Sign - National City, California
Greek Dinner and Family - Coronado, California

We started off our day visiting my brother-in-law's sign business and shop.

In 1982, Jim and Linda and their girls left Gary, Indiana and settled in Coronado, California.  Jim's folks were also in Coronado.  Jim's family had a sign business in Gary.  Jim brought the skills he had learned as a boy working with his dad and as a young man and started his own business.
