In 1942, we moved to Sioux City, where I spent the remainder of my
childhood before graduating from high school in 1951 and joining the
Navy. Following are a few notes and photos of these years.

810 S. CeceliaStreet
(c. 1948) |
We first moved into a rented house in Morningside (1718 South Cedar
Street) where we lived for perhaps a year and a half. I
attended nearby Whittier School for the remainder of 4th and part of
5th grade.
In 1943, Dad bought a house on Cecelia Street for $2000.
It was the first time that we owned our own house, and it is where I
spent the remainder of my childhood.
Living on S. Cecelia, I attended Joy School through 6th grade.
