Find out from the man, Ken Richardson, who bridged the gap between Hughes Aircraft founder eccentric Howard Hughes and General Motors’ purchase in 1987. Richardson started at Hughes out of Tufts as an engineer and 37 years later became president guiding 80,000 employees in a $7 Billion (1990’s) economy. The author of “Hughes After Howard - The Story of Hughes Aircraft Company” will share his wealth of experiences and that of 90 former Hughes employees. This is a remarkable piece of American aviation history as well as insight into Southern California’s love affair with aerospace. Learn about many complex products in all fields of electronics crafted by this highly motivated, inventive team. Prior to his current book, Richardson also co-authored “Testing Death: Hughes Aircraft Test Pilots and Cold War Weaponry.” WMoF members and non-members are welcome. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=56320;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Tanya Date: Sat, Jul 16, 2011 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM Description: FYE Presents: Movies Plus Game Tournament - Torrance Details: PS3 - STREET FIGHTER 4 & Wii – BOWLING Date: Saturday July 9th Start Time: 2pm ready Location: FYE - 22135 HAWTHORNE BLVD, TORRENCE CA @ the corner of Hawthorne and Sepulveda Entry Fee: FREE 1st place: NEW PS3 CONSOLE / NEW Wii CONSOLE 2ND place: $75 FYE Gift Card 3rd place: $50 FYE Gift Card Free pizza and beverage Sign Up online to: fyegamer@hotmail.com Please specify in email which location and game selection. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=54958;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Date: Sun, Jul 17, 2011 Description: A full 53-hour closure of the 405, roughly between the 10 and 101 freeways, is planned for the weekend of July 16-17, 2011.

Auto theft is the #1 property crime in the nation. A window VIN-etched vehicle creates a thief’s nightmare. Thieves steal vehicles to sell their parts thus etched windows make a car less profitable. Etched windows also help law enforcement in the recovery of your vehicle. Your car will gain added protection as a team of Auto Club professionals will use stencils and applicators to lightly etch the unique Vehicle Identification Number on you car, truck or SUV windows. Just bring your current vehicle registration and/or proof of ownership. You also will be asked to sign a consent and release form. You’ll drive off with etched windows, anti-car theft materials and greater peace of mind. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=54024;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Lisa Coffi Date: Fri, Jul 22, 2011 Time: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Description: Shakespeare by the Sea's admission free performances of "Much Ado About Nothing" and "The Tragedy of King Lear" are coming to Torrance!
