12-10-20, Happy Birthday and many more! Our Grandfather was brought to work at Edwards Air Force Base in those historic years of the 1950's through the late 1970's. He did not speak of his work or boast of the greats he worked with everyday. We knew it was pretty special then and the people were ever so nice.

In those days there was no housing there and the build was on. Many families lived in trailers or renovated settler shanties, without running water or electricity. There was some creative business enterprises 'out in the county' like great steak houses and swimming mini-resorts. I can still find some of these abandoned places. The antelope in 'Antelope Valley' were then plentiful, before the railroad were said to have an impact on their habitat. Those were amazing times there, before we moved to Paradise.
