Inside The Inland Empire

A little bit about OldMack, in his own words:

A maternal Aunt and her daughter moved from Oklahoma and settled in Redlands in 1925. She packed citrus and worked at a luch counter at a drug store in Redlands. She bought a house on Clay Street. Her home and her hospitality gave her six siblings a destination and place of respite when they subsequently moved into the area. My mother, the youngest of seven, came to Redlands when two of her eldest sisters visited their home town for a family reunion and drove back to California in 1933.

Having had a taste of it, she returned to Marlow, OK to await my birth and my father's separation from the Army. Then we moved to California.

As a boy, I attended schools in Fontana, Lucern Valley, Apple Valley and Victorville. This was during the War years. If you are interested in those aspects from the perspective of a lad who rode his horse to school in the Lucern Valley until it was closed due to an outbreak of Polio, I may be able to enlighten and entertain you folks with my Tales. I'm a retired Jack of all trades.
