Really? And just what was California like before the defense industry came here in WW2? It was great, that's what it was like.
Do you personally remember what California was like before December 7th, 1941? I'm not so sure you do.

If I remember the books right, there was a depression with a whole lot of hungry Americans.

There is a quote by writer Stella Hughes,

Quote:
Time can improve any memory
Just what were "the good old days"?
