This project describes my participation in the Locke Oral History Project. The Locke Oral History Project was commissioned by the California Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) to be used in the restoration and adaptive reuse of the Locke Boarding House. Along with professors Dr. Ettinger and Dr. Castaneda, I gathered oral histories of current and former Locke residents and wove these histories into a report on the history of Locke. The compilation was later used by DRP in its presentation of the history of Locke at the interpretive center at the Locke Boarding House. A multitude of sources were used to complete this project, including published and unpublished secondary and primary source materials located at the Sacramento State University library and the North Central Information Center.

As you strive to further stimulate the U.S. economy, we want to call your attention to an important bipartisan and widely supported effort aimed at promoting physical fitness as a form of low-cost preventative health care. Since the pandemic, the fitness industry was the first to shutter its doors and continues to be repeatedly forced to close when additional coronavirus surges spike. Youth sports, health clubs, fitness studios and much of outdoor recreation were early casualties of the economic shutdown and stay-at-home orders. Under the circumstances, many of these businesses and organizations are struggling to survive in an ever-changing COVID landscape. While all are working to re- engineer service lines the economic aftershocks will be daunting for years to come. Ironically, the active population has far better prognoses and are at lower risk of experiencing the more severe symptoms of COVID-19 than the inactive population. With the additional strain COVID-19 has placed on our healthcare system, it is critical to promote health and physical activity; and without the active lifestyle industry, the American population will suffer.
