On the cover Only the people who moved to Leisure World in the 1960s will remember when the. Leisure World Glob..e graced the area on El Toro Road · near Avenida de Carlota, almost directly across the street from The Broadway. The huge 32-foot glob_e was the symbol of Rossmoor Corp.'s retirement communities from New jersey, to Maryland to Arizona and on fo Califomia. The current setting of the globe, of course, is on Avenida de·Carlota adjacent to the freeway. It is now the property of Orange County, having been deeded to the county by Rossmoor in early 1982. · · But original residents recall that the globe ro­ tated slowly above a "fountain whose spray jet­ ted from the Anarctic axis," as one Rossmoor ·wri­ ter noted, "and sometii:nes inundated the south­ ern. ·hemisphere." _ At· night colored floodlights played upon it. Real estate broker Laverne Roberts, who has been working in Leisure World since a· year be­ fore the first move-ins, remembers that there was an underground tunnel so vehicles could travel · from the area of the globe across El Toro Road without driving on El Toro. Ross Cortese, founder of Leisure World, is cre­ dited with getting the idea for the globe after a visit to the World's Fairi in New York. The globe is struc­ tured of steel with the land masses made of fiber- ~ glass. For awhile, after .Rossmoor Corp. announ~ed its . plans to liquidate, the fate of the globe was uncertain. Rossmoor had offerec_i to deed the _globe, free of charge, to the Leisure World His­ torical Society, along with the small piece of land on which it stands. But then-Society President Jim Waterman was concerned, that the non~profit group would not have the financial resources to maintain ·the globe or pay the taxes on the land, which by virtue of chang~ of ownership would be reassessed. · · Thanks to the intervention of Supervisor Tom Riley. the globe became · the property of the -county.

Many of the bowlers headed for Laguna Beach, even though the road was less than ideal, and rolled their bowls down there. But by mid-1966, the Leisure World greens were ready for play, and the greens have been a hubbub of activity ever since. Under the leadership of Ellery Fil.es and other experienced lawn bowlers, the Laguna Hills Lawn Bowling Club was .officially organized in June . 1966 with a membership of 48. By September, when the greens were ready for play, membership had tak­ ing a giant leap to 226. One set of greens was not enough to accommo­ date this group, so more were built. Leisure World now sports three sets of professionally manicured greens, and they are kept neatly trimmed, the bowlers say, by groundskeeper Steve Deford. The gree11s have been in De Ford's care since the beginning, and he is an avid bowler besides:· The greens are located at Clubhouses l and 2.
