Dad loved the mountains, and especially loved to go to his cabin at Grizzly Flats, which is 25 miles east of Placerville, Ca. Dad and his father built the cabin in about 1944. He had bought 15 acres from Elwood Morrey. His father and two sisters and one brother also had cabins up there. Dad liked to write and eat, and also liked his whiskey and beer. He enjoyed people, but also liked times of solitude. We would go up to grandpa Jefferis's cabin in the evenings and play poker. Dad died of a heart attack in 1968.
Dad worked for Hercules Powder Co. in Hercules, Ca, for 25 years. He was a supervisor, first for Black Powder during WWII, that is why he didn't have to go into the Army, because the government needed black powder for the war effort.

Notes:

Mart was 14 months older than I was, and he and I were always fighting. He was sent to a Catholic Boys school when he was about 12. He would hop trains at that age and go all the way to Oregon. He was quite adventerous and rebellious. He spent most of his life in one prison or another throughout California and other state. He almost got killed in Levensworth Prison in Kansas. He was an alcoholic and would steal things. He enjoyed playing tennis while in prison. He died while he was out of prison. He was living with a lady at the time, and seemed to be doing pretty good for him. He loved dogs and was a good person, who just never found his way. He never really worked for a living. Mom and I would travel on bus to visit him in the various prisons he was at. We loved to be up at Grizzly in the summer and would explore together as children.
