My various homes

 

I was born in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. I don’t have any pictures of my first home, but we did at once live in a Quanset house.
In 1954 or so, we moved to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where we lived for 2 years.

 
We then moved to El Cajon, California, where we bought a house. Before that we lived in Chula Vista and that’s where I started going to school.

 

Our house in El Cajon 1956:

 

 
   

We did lots of work on the house, added a patio and lived in it for many years!! As my parents got older, we added a „Granny“ house in the backyard. My younger brother, Carl, moved into the main house with his wife, Alice, and kids. He still lives there today, 2019. 

 

 

1950, My Beginnings

This was our first home. Not much, but that was standard for the times, a so-called „quanset“ hut!

To start off with, I was born on Feruary 23, 1950 in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. My dad was with the Navy and stationed there and as far as I know, he actually taught at the Navy academy.
