Ted Gibson, Encino’s first postmaster, was not only the mailman but also a friend of the many movie stars who lived in the area. Born in Texas, Gibson came to California at the age of seven. His store/gas station on Ventura Boulevard, near Oak Park Avenue, was a favorite meeting place. He is quoted, in an oral history interview conducted by the author in the early 1990s, as saying, “I was running a grocery and service station so it was the only spot, regardless of politics.” Shirley Gibson, Ted’s daughter, received the first letter (also the first registered letter ever delivered to Encino) on opening day, April 18, 1938 (below). While her mail was close at hand, she still had to travel to high school in Van Nuys.
