Her chicken ranch?

Hello. I read the e-mail sent by Chuck Maiden that's posted on your site. I couldn't help but wonder whether the "chicken farm on Oso Ave." in Canoga Park that he recalls was actually the one owned by my late grandfather, Cosmo Reo. If that's the case, the farm (and the family home) was not on Oso, but actually nearby at the corner of Roscoe and Cozycroft. My grandfather ran the farm beginning in the early 1950s through the
early/mid-'70s. The property backed up to a walnut orchard and featured a vending machine from which customers could purchase fresh eggs.

Love your Web site, by the way. It's a savior when I'm feeling homesick or just want to remember my childhood
in Canoga Park (1973-90).

Sincerely,
Lisa Ferguson, now residing in Nevada

Thanks much!
