He said he applied for his at the Walla Walla Post Office and got it in 1942. As I said, he farmed with his father and never lived or worked in California. In 1952, he had taken a trip with a buddy back to Detroit, MI, where his buddy was going to pick up a new car. They drove down through the eastern states to New Orleans and across the southern states, went into California to visit a couple who owned part of the land he and his father farmed. He said that that was the first time he had been in California and he really wasn't too impressed with it. I have known him since 1951. We were married in 1954. His buddy, who is still living, verifies that my husband has never lived or worked in California and he's known him since 1945, when the fellow first worked for my father-in-law on the farm. My husband and his buddy were 19 when they first met, both born in 1926! . I am in the process of sending for his original application. I doubt very much that there were two men by the same name! Possible, but not very probable! Mary
