E or W Bremerton High?
Neither - we moved to King County in 1955 when I was 3 years old. My Dad had a job at Todd Shipyard in Seattle.

That town was great in the 50’s - 70’s. I was born and raised there, crime was not noticeable, we could roam at night (parents sleeping) and did. Just to do it. It was like farm country after dark. I remember they had a bus stop just for servicemen, with the information on the side that these guys didn’t have one. They would sit in it, and people would pull up and give them rides. That was before they had fleets of buses, wasting fuel moving people from place to place in an endless loop. My dad did it often with us kids in the car. Of course he was retired Navy, and the sailors would “shoot the shit” with Dad all the way along. Hell, we used to ride the boat to Seattle a lot too, kids walking in Downtown Seattle, TODAY??? no freakin way.
