Geocache Description:

My Dad graduated from Birmingham High School not too far from GZ. Back then they were the Birmingham Braves. Several years ago, my Dad learn they had changed it to the Patriots. He and many of his former classmates were not very happy about it.

GO BRAVES!

He realized it made sense because it was originally named Van Nuys General Hospital, it was renamed in honor of Brigadier General Henry Patrick Birmingham.

The former hospital/Nike complex is now Birmingham High School and Junior High School and the West Valley Special Education Center.

My Dad told me a story when my Grandma took him to register to attend Birmingham. They were talking to one of the clerks taking care of them. She asked, do you know who just graduated from here last year? Jermaine Jackson! You know, from the Jackson 5!
My Dad, who wasn't thrilled about attending Birmingham since he should have been going to Belmont High School in Los Angeles. My Dad responded with attitude, so! Is Micheal going to be here? He said my Grandma slapped him on the back of the head! HAHAHA!
