Date: 1949 or 1950 - Late August
Location: Oakland, California @ Uncle Percy's House
Who: My Grandma, Marie (my pop's mother)
What: My Pop (age 6-7) remembers he drove down to Oakland with Uncle Percy and Aunt Mabel during the summer. His mother, Marie (my grandma) came down to get him and they rode the train all the way back to Eugene, Oregon. Pop remembers they had all black porters and waiters on the train and one of them commented to Marie, "That boy sure can eat". Pop remembers that he had fish (salmon). Quite an adventure.
