Chapter Two: San Bernardino, 1946-1958
In 1946, Pappy went to California, met Dr. John L Lounsbury, president of San Bernardino Valley Union Junior College, and returned to Sunset with a teaching job. We seem to have wasted very little time in moving to what was then the nation’s largest county.

These were eventful years. Their story comes in layers and clusters, with no obvious way to arrange them in a logical sequence, apart from an overarching chronology.
