Milton Quan: Growing up at China Camp
August 26, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
FreeEver wonder what it was like growing up at China Camp? Find out from the ultimate source, Milton Quan, who spent his childhood here in the 1940s and ’50s. Join Milton as he leads a tour through China Camp Village, sharing memories of working at his family’s cafe, and helping with the boat rental and shrimp-fishing businesses. Milton will add plenty of anecdotes too, like the 10-day all-boys adventure in a leaky shrimp-fishing junk that led to a late-night Coast Guard rescue. He’ll also share his experience as an extra in the 1955 movie Blood Alley, filmed at China Camp and starring John Wayne and Lauren Bacall. Enjoy these and more of Milton’s entertaining memories of growing up in the “Wild West” of the San Pedro Bay waterfront.
Space is limited.
