Dad's oldest brother was married by the time the house in LA was purchased. He stayed in Yuma till at least the 40's. Grandfather had no interest in the house and stayed in Yuma. Bert was older than dad but had moved out so dad was the oldest living in the house. They were behind in the taxes and house payments because of the Depression. The FHA saved the home. Since dad did the paperwork and all the word that was involved to bring it up to code,  he ended up as the owner.

It does raise a lot of questions in my mind about details left out and happenings in between what your mom mentioned.  In some cases, she may have wanted to keep the account on the happy side, which I believe our lives on Berendo were, generally,  Thanks to our parents and neighbors. She didn't mention Theron for example, which she might not have considered a Berendo thing. Your Dad being in one of the first classes at Washington High  would be an interesting addition. Etc.  I would like to know more about your Dad's family's origins in Yuma or wherever.   How was it that your Mom and Dad eventually wound up with your family house.  Did it originally belong to your Dad's parents or someone else in the Magdaleno family.    Wasn't the house originally a real estate office that was moved to Berendo and converted into a home?

Sorry for all the questions.

Best to you and yours,
Johnny

Hi Al,
Could you send your file about your mom's writing of your Dad in a different format?  Maybe PDF?  I don't have any Apple devices to read a .pages formatted file.  
Thanks,
