Culver City Rotarians enjoyed their November 10 luncheon meeting at the historic Culver Hotel, even getting a tour following the meeting. (Too bad president Linda Black forgot to introduce her guest, husband John. To be expected, she was fined. A lot.)
Musings from Ted Hatfield, former MGM exec, now with Regal Entertainment (and a recently elected County Commissioner in Knoxville, TN): “…..Very happy to hear the good news the HUT is still being used by the Scouts. I have lots of great memories of the HUT from 1970 (when I came to MGM in Culver City) through 1997…….The HUT was originally used by Troops from the Crescent Bay Council…. Troop 113, and the Troop sponsored by the Culver City Elks (I don’t recall the Troop number)…..It served for a while as a training post, on limited hours, for selling scout merchandise, when the Council headquarters moved to the Valley. I used it one Saturday morning, each month for the Eagle Scout Board of Reviews for the Crescent Bay District. Scouts from Beverly Hills, Palisades, Culver City, Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey and Westchester all came to update the Board on their projects, and receive approval for the Eagle Rank. It was also used in the late 40’s or early 50’s as the initial location for Grace Lutheran Church, prior to the building of their complex n Overland Avenue. The church, being grateful to the Scouts, organized Troop 108 and it is still one of the major Scout troops in Culver City. The church also sponsors a Cub Scout Pack, Yours in Scouting…TED HATFIELD, Eagle Scout / Proud Father of 5 Eagle Sons from Troop 108.”
