MAYBE THEY HAVE A GOOD IDEA UP IN BAJA OXNARD

Saturday the Alfred Kaspaul Memorial Field will be dedicated in Malibu West, a small, new community about 20 miles up the coast from Santa Monica, sometimes called Baja Oxnard.
Nothing unusual about that. It happens all the time.
But this one is rather special. The field is named for Marine Sgt. Alfred Kaspaul, 21, who was killed in Quang Tri, Vietnam, last October. His parents are physicists at Hughes Research Lab in Malibu.
Alfred was the first and only war casualty from this small beach colony and his death filled the 172 families with a resolve to do something in his memory. After brief discussion, a recreation center was decided on.
The site, previously used as a dump, was donated by the developer of the property. It was cleared and graded by a contractor for a fraction of what the coast would have been.
Householders, neglecting their own gardens, combined forces and invested thousands of hours in digging, carrying and building. Almost every weekend there was a so-called "muscle party."
For their efforts the onetime dump now has a football field with goalposts, a baseball diamond with a backstop, basketball and handball courts. A running track is planned. Grass was planted and many hours were spent watering it and coaxing it to grow. The athletic gear was either donated by businessmen or sold at cost.
Meanwhile, the women arranged bridge parties and rummage sales to raise money for the equipment.
Tomorrow, which would have been Alfred Kaspaul's 22nd birthday, the field will be dedicated. The Camp Pendleton Band will be there as will high military officers including Maj. Gen. Wood B. Kyle, of the 5th Marine Division at Pendleton. He was Sgt. Kaspaul's commander when with the 3rd Marine Division.
Perhaps there is a pattern here for commemorating the Vietnam dead elsewhere.
