The war with Japan broke out and Dad worked in a defense plant on the coast, mov- ing our family of four to Pittsburg, California. Then Ike and Stella visited us again and we moved back to McFar- land…Dad became the bookkeeper for Ike’s Oil Business and Mom ran the filling station and grocery store located next to Ike’s residence on Highway 99. Our little family lived in one big room in back of the store and we enjoyed it. Mom, of course, running a grocery store, always had a delicious supper and my second cousin Norbert, who lived near by, would always find an excuse to be around our place at supper time. Although I enjoyed the different life we were living, I still longed for Kansas and would tell all my friends about the joy of living on the farm until they all longed for it with me. One day at the supper table my Dad announced we would be moving back to the farm in Kansas and I was ecstatic…Norbert not so much. It was nice to have had a brother at least for a short time. We drove back to Kansas during the pre-Christmas snows, spending Christmas Eve in a little motel in Oklahoma where Dad patched the tires once again.
