So, here is where it began.
Born in East L A almost beneath the shadow of the Willard Battery water tower, Just east of the smelly B F
Goodrich tire pressing plant on Olympic Boulevard and north of the Union Pacific railroad tracks and East L A train
station. Certainly enough wonderment for an Okie boy to appreciate and admire. Our little East L A Okie home was a small white adobe
house on Simmons Avenue half way between Olympic and Ferguson Avenue in East Los Angeles 22 California. My
parents, in 1941, were recent transplants from parched red dirt southern rural Oklahoma. So,
being born 1944 in East L A, I am purebred blue collar California Okie. Therefore, I write about my naive
Okie past and comment on my sociological/cultrual current observations. My daily blog, The Red Dirt Post is written
on current events and Okie Without Borders, is about my early Okie life growing up in Los Angeles. I hope you enjoy
