Important PeopleWhen one visits a new place, they often feel like an outsider. Many people may enjoy being simply a tourist, but there are also those who wish to feel part of the place they visit. The reason for this, I believe, is that to fully appreciate a place one musts integrate with the local population. In doing this one will create memories that far outlast those created on a typical vacation.For those of you willing to got out on a limb and do something truly different from the common, ordinary lot certain information not found in regular guides is necessary. For this reason I have included a list of the some of the most well known people in this area. These people range from some of the most popular and well known musical groups to notable people in the social and political atmosphere of Malibu. *

J. B. Guggins J.R.
J. B. Guggins J.R. is well known as the president of the Guggins toy factory. He is a very kind individual(as I found out when I went to interview him)who wants noting more than for the toys produced by his factory to be enjoyed by children. His company was passed down to him by his father, J.B. Guggans S.R., who started the company 1906. The company's hey day, in J.B. Guggans S.R's, day came about the 1920's with its well-known toy Mr.Saunders. The company has had fluctuations of popularity among children since the company's beginning, but it has held up very well. The company is currently on a high note with the widely popular new toy called the Monkee Ring. *

Jerry Blavat
This is KXIW-TV's personality Jerry Blavat. He is somewhat popular with the youth of this area because of his promotion of many events which are of interest to the youth in Malibu. Some of the events he hosts are Rock and Roll contests which are a welcome source of income and promotion of talent for the local bands in the area. His personality when he is doing his job, is quite cheerful and full of life, which attracts his audience to him. Off-stage he is slightly abrasive, mostly towards attractive young women, which apparently are his downfall.
