Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Pop's Willow Lake was a resort along Big Tujunga Wash upstream from today's Hansen Dam, which featured a dance hall and cafe. James A. (Pop) Gautier opened the resort in 1931, but suffered major damage in the 1938 floods. It was rebuilt in the early 1940s, and Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean Baker) went on dates there with her first husband while still attending Van Nuys High school.
Photograph caption dated May 19, 1948 reads, "James 'Pop' Gautier presents check to Ralph Modugno." The article partially reads, "The cancer drive fund sponsored by the San Fernando 20-30 club today reached $1500 of the $2000 goal as a check for $300 was presented by James A. 'Pop' Gautier of Pop's Willow Lake."
