1956

In 1956, Daddy purchased his first 35mm camera and started taking slides of the family, vacations, the houses we lived in, and of course flowers.

We lived at 122 W 222nd Street in Wilmington (now Carson) California. We added two bedrooms and a nice sunny patio.

This is the back of the house. Dad planted red bougainvillea over the trellis-covered patio.

Notice Dad's home made trampoline, made of a pipe frame, sail canvas, and cut up inner tubes for the springs. It wasn't perfect, but we sure had lots of fun with it.
