Both Jeffery and Jack Cardson’s families are going to the get together for once in sixty years. The reason for the “get together” was because the children asked their father, “ Dad, why didn’t we do this a long time ago when we were younger?,” said Matthew waiting patiently for his opportunity to ask.

As Jeffery Cardson heard the question he quickly responded,” Well you see, my brother and I had a big argument about 60 years ago which is kind of hard to explain kids”.

“You can tell us”, Mia replied eagerly, ” We are already all teenagers, we aren’t kids anymore”.

However less desirable characters like Papa from “Farwell to Manzanar” cracked under the pressure of the cultural conflicts.…

    The years 1928-1930 presented some troubling times for the citizens of California, particularly those in the Los Angeles area and Wineville (now Mira Loma) community. During those past years, a series of horrendous abductions and murders took place by a man known as Gordon Stewart Northcott. These murders came to be known as the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders and persisted to grow into a broader dilemma as a significant mother, Christine Collins, raised concern over her missing son, Walter Collins.
