meI don't know how his name got into my contact list. It wasn't there yesterday or the day before when I had been in there. When I clicked on his name it showed: Lomita, CA. Yes he died in Lomita .... his brother in San Pedro.
I started to delete it .... kinda freaked out. But I stopped myself. Closed out my contact list .... reopened it .... and yes it really is there. I can't bring myself to delete it now. I'm just not sure how it got there. Why is it there?

Ok now .... since I really don't remember much from 1958 .... I'll do my best to say something interesting .....
1958 - I spent a lot of time with my parents friends daughters .... one that was exactly two weeks to the day older than I. Most of you have read about Nancy in previous posts. I'm sure we did what normal 1 year olds did ... pooped our pants, ate, played and slept. My dad told me that at this age I had gotten an infection in one of my breasts. It swelled up big. Scared both parents to death. They took me to the doctor and my dad said as he waited in the waiting room he heard me scream as they lanced it open. He said it was everything he could do to not punch the doctor in the face. The fear of my birth mother coming after me now gone. Both mom and dad were able to relax. 1958 would have been my first year into the gold claim that Dave and I camped at just last weekend. Movie pictures have me taking a bath outside in a little kiddie pool .... maybe this is where I got my lack of modesty in the nudity department? There was a cabin in those days. A different time and place than it is today.
Now .... Dave and I are taking off tomorrow again for about 4-5 days to the claim. Which means I will have a heck of a lot of catching up to do when I get home. But stay tuned .... !
Peace. J.
