Owned and operated "Corriganville", a working movie ranch
in Simi Valley, CA. On weekends it was open to the
public. Kids could see stuntmen in gunfights, and meet stars like
Rin Tin Tin and
Chief Thundercloud, while dad had a beer in
the movie "saloon" (just down the road was the Spahn Movie Ranch, later
home to the infamous Manson Family). Corriganville was subsequently sold to
Bob Hope and renamed Hopetown. This location was home to early motorcycle races that subsequently became motocross. The area is now the site of houses and a park. All sets were lost in fires.
