In 1963, he saw Augie Handley, then owner of La Jolla Repair Service (no locks or keys), at Harry's Coffee Shop. Rigsbee made an offer to buy his business. Handley refused. Rigsbee doubled his offer and a bargain was made. He purchased the business located on Pearl, "lock, stock and barrel," for $6,000. And if you have wondered where La Jolla Lock and Safe went in 1969, Rigsbee bought that, too - for $8,000. Before buying La Jolla Lock and Safe, Rigsbee did only light work in locks and keys. "The fact i ," he said, "I didn't know a damn thing about locks. Bill Mcanley, of Meanley and Son Hard- ware - Bill's not there anymore. He died. His son is there - he taught me so much.

He com- muted for a short time from his home in Del Mar to Irvine until he decided to buy his father' business. When asked for their best stories, Jeff Rigsbee said, "Oh, that's easy. Drunks.

Dysart and others helped the show's technical director put together the rigging, blocks and harness-type equipment the kids would need. "There were six dif- ferent flying apparatus that re- quired eight people," said Dysart.

Both he and Jay, a 14-year-old ninth grader at Muirlands Junior High School, got involved in Junior Theater three years ago: Dad on the technical side, son as a perfor- mer. Jay played the lead tenor in a "Mu~•c Ian" quartet, which ended Sunday. He has been in nine shows, as well as Starlight's "King and I" last summer. Dysart's love for the theater is mo tly on the technical side. As a student at Vista High School he was involved in lighting, sound and some set design. Four years of debatmg at Stanford, in- cludmg national tournaments, took up much of his time but he still did some documentary film makmg. Dysart came back for law school at USD, where he was on the
