That’s very interesting. Did your family move there from the Dust Bowl, and if so, do you still live in CA?
Yes, they came out from Oklahoma and Arkansas. Everyone stayed in California except one aunt, the one that lived in the camp, who moved back to Oklahoma 30 years ago.
When they first got here they lived in a temporary tent camp in Weedpatch. A move to the tin cabins in the labor camp was a big step up.
I remember the camp well. It was a fun time for us kids.
