Jack McGrath, Neighbor
- Studio City, CA
I came to Studio City in 1948, my parents buying a home on a dead-end street called Pacoima Court. My twin sister and I walked to Carpenter School. In 1953 my mother gave birth to a second set of twins, now there were six kids.
My first job was selling the<i> Herald Express </i>at the corner of Ventura and Laurel Canyon boulevards. It was in front of a bar where the actors like John Wayne and Gene Autry had a pop or two. Went to Walter Reed Middle School, North Hollywood High School and then off to college at Cal State Northridge, where one roomate was a kid named Rich Marin, who later became Cheech of Cheech and Chong. Yes we were " Up in Smoke" many nights.
Worked in local politics for 20 years, managing Zev Yaroslavsky's first election in 1975, and working as his Chief of Staff at City Hall. I later was a partner in a company which built 2500 bus shelters in the city.
Now, I have a public relations and media firm located in Valley Village. Was president of the Studio City Chamber in 2004, and a Board Member for five years. My company is GM Communications.
