Rest in Peace

On a personal note, I mark the passing of longtime Montecito resident Carter Hines at the age of 78.

Carter, who was stationed in the Army in Hawaii, attended City College and Long Beach State, before starting his 55-year-old business, Carter Hines Drapery, which will be continued by his widow, Victoria.

A member of the Montecito Tennis Mafia for many years, as well as the Coral Casino and Birnam Wood, he is particularly remembered as an affable bartender at The Nugget in Summerland on locals night.
