It probably wasn't *actually* personalized but it seemed like it to me and perception is reality (and great p.r.). So "nice letters" are still being sent. LOL.

So out of town visitors who couldn't go to DL on Mon. or Tues. could conveniently go up the street to Knott's. And TinksBestFriend, you are correct in remembering that DL's Autumn hours didn't start till mid-Sept. My best friend's birthday was Sept. 9, and we often went for his birthday, and always enjoyed summer hours. The reason was that California schools would never start before Sept. 10th. The 9th was a state holiday - the day California was admitted to the union - and it made no sense to start schools after Labor Day and immediately have a holiday in the first week. So school never started before the 10th, and DL kept summer hours until school started.
