Title: Any info about Leo Carrillo?
Post by: nascarnut on Mar 31, 04, 05:53:03 PM

My Dad swears up and down that my grandpa used to live in the same cabin that Leo Carrillo used to own years ago. Who is he? Was he a "founding father" of WW? And where was this house if anyone knows anything about him?

Leo Carrillo was an actor, preservationist and conservationist. He was born in Los Angeles on 8/6/1881 and died in Santa Monica on 9/10/1961. What his connection to Wrightwood was I don't know. You might want to search for more info via google. You'll find more there. Hope this helps.
