Getting settled in California with the changes into large metropolitan life, the loss of extended family (visits to Aunt Tillie's and Aunt Lee's as examples) and adjustment to our new living arrangements made the trips back to the old home area each summer special times for us as kids (even with those packed car conditions over several days). Judy and Dale are in elementary school as I enter junior high and Wayne goes through high school.
Then time flew by for me once I started high school with our move to Norwalk. My first significant memory as I started high school was the loss of Wayne in an auto accident. I think the experience of loosing my older brother made it even harder making adjustments of getting into the whole high school routine - new schedule, new friends, new setting, etc. Judy and Dale were my only siblings at home then. Our time together as siblings was even more important to us.
