Thanks Charlie, I’m reminded by your Yuba City family voyage of my own Delta/Davis/Dixon/Woodland, Jack Mormon/Mexican/Chinese and Portgee upbringing and surroundings; food, music/fish fry’s and the smells of that rich land. Thanks again for the reveal.

Pee-Chee folders. I wonder how many non-Californians know about them. I had never heard of a Pee-Chee folder until I moved to CA and took my first teaching job in LA Unified....at age 22. I got more of an education than my students did.

Mark, I'm glad to see that someone has heard of them! I had to look them up to make sure I spelled it right. Nevertheless, essential gear for schooling before the digital era. Peace to you.

I remember her well. Always kind and gracious. Those were heady years. The 70's. Us "jazz cats" were starting to morph into players. I don't think your mom was very impressed with our youthful bluster and bravado. She was instrumental in keeping us grounded. Most of all, she was a great mom.

Thank you Craig! You are so correct. She loved and tolerated the "jazz cats" but did not venerate! Peace to you.
