Dog Teeth Cleaning in Scripps Ranch

Scripps Ranch and the neighboring Marine Corps Air Station Miramar once made up a larger estate called the Miramar Ranch, owned by 19th century newspaper tycoon E.W. Scripps. But many don't realize that Scripps' incredible success was a family affair.

E.W.'s older sister Ellen had considerable newspaper experience when she began advising, bankrolling, and later partnering with him in his quest to own a local newspaper in every major U.S. city.

The Scripps Institution for Oceanography in La Jolla is actually named for both of them, as they were founding members and provided 100% funding for the organization for the first decade of it's existence. And Scripps College in Claremont is named solely for Ellen, as she founded it in 1926, at the age of eighty-nine.
