Places I lived between birth and the age of 17.

I lived in quite a few places in my first 17 years. At age17 I went into the Army. The Army told me where I would live.

I am going to make three more lists of places I lived. Army years, work years, and RV (retirement) years. I am  working on writing the story of my life and these lists will be useful to me.

Place                                              

Pomona, California.
Van Nuys, California
Chino, California
Taft, California
Weedpatch, California
Sanger, California
New York City, New York
Berkeley, California
Oakland, California
Portland, Oregon

Some of these were short visits. Van Nuys and Chino were stays in homes for boys (McKinley and George Junior Republic). Portland and New York City were very short visits.

I was a restless soul. Some of these visits were just for sight seeing (especially New York City).

Weedpatch is where the Joads spent some time in a Government Camp.
