THE CARL JOHNSON FAMILY STORYBy J. Shelton GordonThank you for the request you made me to relate something about the old days in the Valley. After quite a time to consider about your suggestions, I really feel that I do not have anything that would be of interest to anyone. Long before you came to the Valley, I came up here with my 3 boys--one 8 yrs old & one 24 months, and Earl 5 months. I was so completely surrounded with my new way of life after leaving Hollywood, that I had no time to make friends or get any information about the area. The view we had was my only pleasure and taking care of the children under quite adverse conditions was all I could accomplish. So please forgive me if I would just as soon forget some of the hardships and not try to dwell in the past and as of now I'm only living day by day and am enjoying this beautiful area, and am happy to be here. Thank you for the picture of you and Viola, it sure was nice, just like you both. Hope you and your family will have a happy and prosperous New
Year.
Remember me to Barbara anD Viola. P.S. If you should be up this way, I'd be happy for you to come by.
Am 1 mile from the town of Murphy's off of Highway 4--north 8
miles from the town of Angeles Camp. My house has no
numerals, it is in the Murphy's Sub. Div. on Wingdam Dr.
Phone # Area code 209-728-3826. Mr. & Mrs. Al Word have been
to see me and Mr. & Mrs. DeStigeur from down in Palmdale and
Ana Verde.
