Notes - GoughPopeyejoe@aol.com wrote: Mike: I meant before 1949. He had two sons when he left here in 1949. They were both small and he fixed the back seat of his car so they both would have a bed. He also had camping equipment so they could camp at night. He and Dorothy slept in a tent and the kids could sleep in the car. He got as far an Arizona and got a job as a welder in order to get enough money to go on to California. He learned to weld when he was in the CCC Camp in California.
Vincent had a hard life. He left home when he was fifteen years old. This was during the Depression. He heard they were looking for people to help thrash wheat. He hitch hicked e and their were over three hundred people there looking for work and they only needed thirty. He got with a bunch of Hoboes and rode trains and any other way he could find and ended up in California. He liked it in California and always wanted to go back. When he signed for his cousin to get a loan and they were going to try to collect it from him he told me that this was a good time for him to go back to California. He wanted me to go with him but I had just signed a contract to farm about five hundred acres of land and could not get out of the contract.
