About Me

Doc Clinton
My interest in Los Angeles history came from the time spent with my grandfather, Clifford Clinton, while growing up. I've heard the oral history from my family for years about Clifford's struggles with corrupt city government in Los Angeles in the late 1930s and 40s. I'm now a general internist who has practiced medicine in Pasadena for 30 years.
