  Speaker 1: his his He had a condo there in his face,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: his two daughters grew up there, and everything is gone.

  Speaker 1: Everything burned down. All of his memorabilia, all of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: things that he's collected over the years, everything burned to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the ground. Jeff and his wife were both from here,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: from Salt Lake, but he moved to La twenty years

• 3:33
  Speaker 1: His daughters, Bella and Ava. Yeah, Bella and Ava are
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: here going to the University of Utah. He writes a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: little bit about them to me. He said, both my
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: girls are the rare born in La Breed. Since La
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is such a city of transplants, they love to own
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're La girls through and through. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: since both my wife and I grew up in Utah,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we wanted to give them as much of the hometown
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: vibe as we could, and that's how we ended up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in Pacific Palisades because the Palisades was basically LA's pleasant bille.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: They both were girl scouts. They did theater at the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: local playhouse, headed down to the beach on occasion. They
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: had a pretty normal non La childhood, the same you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: would have anywhere else, only with Disneyland season passes and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the occasional small role as a zombie in a horror
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: video game. True story. At any rate, Bella and Ava,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the daughters, they're here and they're going to join us
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: on the panel at Squatters. And I want to say
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one more thing about Jeff Dixon and his family. They
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: have a gofund me because they lost everything. He said.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I wish condo owners didn't get screwed so we didn't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: have to do something like this. But I do appreciate
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the love from everyone. It's helping bring back a bit
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of my faith in humanity. A warning to condo owners everywhere,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: check your insurance carefully. Yes, so if you want to
• 5:01
