Did not know that George Bush had lived in Compton. The Long Beach Earthquake you mentioned was 1933, right? Many cities in California (and elsewhere) had much different populations in the 30’s and 40’s.
When my aunt had to leave her home after the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, her family stayed for a few days in a cabin in Santa Ana Canyon. There, she met my father’s brother, and they fell in love. Their marriage lasted for more than six decades.
