Mom Marries Perry Webster in 1941

In 1941 my Mom married the son of our neighbor on 3426 Castleman Street, Arlington, California. We had moved there from a house also in Arlington. Mom had gotten the family together after she had received her degree from the University. She had a job teaching Home Economics at a high school in Riverside. Times had become better for us. The house had some fruit trees and a small building in back that I used to raise chickens. Our next door neighbors, the Websters were nice to us boys and they let us pick the apricots off of their tree. I remember helping Mom can over a hundred quarts of apricot preserves one year. We were excited about a new Dad and happy for Mom. She had worked so hard for so long to make a comfortable home for us. They were married on March 1st, 1942.
