IN those years, a “KID” grew up much faster than today.
No doubt about it. I had a nice visit with our 92 year old neighbor a few days ago and she was telling me that her father was an orphan. He was living with his aunt and uncle after his folks had passed, but he never felt at home. So he saved some money and struck out on his own when he was just 15. He was in an eastern state and went to California to make his way in life. That’s how her family got to CA.
