Miss Fallbrook 1966.
The caption at
the bottom read, 12 of the 13 Miss Fallbrook contestants with present
Queen Janet Glasgow center with hat. The ladies I recognized, 3rd from
left, Charlie Abraham (66), 4th Linda Welch (67), 6th Linda Schultz (66),
8th Janet Glasgow, 9th Penelope Wasden (65), 10th Bev Baldwin (66), 11th
Sheryl Roberts (65), 12 Sally Baldwin (66), Kim Mitterling must have been
the lady not present.
Because it was the year 1966, I placed this on the 1966 class site. - Jack

As for your mention of the group "The Nobles" the 2nd photo is the original line up picture dated 1964 at the Fallbrook Boy's Club.
From the left, Tom Fairborn (65), John Griffith (65) Lee Leopard (67) Brent Hudson (66) and Mike LeBorgne (65). Brent Hudson moved away in early 1965. The last photo is of "The New Nobles" photo dated 12-11-1965 taken at the default Vista Armory that for years had the biggest open dances in the county. From the left John Griffith (65), Bob Teague (66), Bob Fuller (64), Lee Leopard (67) and John Frazar, San Marcos High (66).
The yellow jackets are the ones we ware to usher the Miss Fallbrook pageant. Since we on this band history thing, here's a twib that has always giving me wonder? Some time back in 1966, on a large rock going west on Hwy-76 from Pala some one painted The New Nobles. We never did it and just figured it was some of our Indian friends. What's amazing is it's still there and legible to this day. Don't know why? But I love it!

I took these images of some classmates, friends, elders, at the annual Old Timers Picnic.

This is notorious gang from Fallbrook California. They were the heavy hitters of their era. ... I understand that most of them have grown up a little since this image was taken.

William Pittenger, one of the first six soldiers to receive the Medal of Honor, is buried in a Fallbrook cemetery that was spruced up last weekend as part of a nationwide Rotarians At Work Day.
Pittenger rests with other local pioneers in the three-acre Independent Order of Odd Fellows Community Cemetery. Their graves all got a much-needed cleaning and grass trimming on Saturday, thanks to Phil Arnold, a friend of Pittenger's late grandson, Jim Wayman. A member of the Medal of Honor Historical Society, Arnold suggested the cemetery for the Rotary project.
Originally from Ohio, Pittenger retired in Fallbrook in the late 1800s. In 1862, during the Civil War, he and other Union soldiers went behind enemy lines to steal a Confederate train.
