Grandma Prisbrey was locally far more iconic in the past
I am a Ventura County native, and lived in the not too far away rural Santa Rosa Valley from 1950 to 1975, and in the rural area near Moorpark from 1975 to 2006. Grandma Prisbrey was occasionally featured in local news because of building her bottle village from material collected from the waste disposal site at Santa Susana (back then it was simply called the local dump), which she hauled back to her place in her aged Studebaker pickup truck. I believe it was an article that appeared in the Southern California Automobile Club's Westways Magazine that brought her more to the attention of Southern Californians than anything else. There was another article that appeared somewhere about her first time flying when she took a commercial airline flight on PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines) from what is now Bob Hope Airport that used to be called Hollywood-Burbank Airport. As I recall, people who knew her mentioned she had the reputation of being difficult to get along with, and was not a kindly old "Grandma". All this is original and anecdotal, and I wish I had the newspaper and magazine articles at hand from long ago to add to the wikipedia article about her. What is important about her is that she played an important part of the local history of Santa Susana for a long time and left a highly visible legacy behind of her presence. Too bad some people just want to tear it down, just like they did Sabato Rodia's towers down in Watts. Linstrum (talk) 01:57, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
