Madeleine felt awfully bad that I was moving to California. In early 1950, we moved to Californiastopping overnight to visit Forrest's Aunt just inside the California border. We lived with his parents until we found an apartment. We lived in Pasadena in an apartment on El Molino where he took up work with an insurance company for a short time. We were quite restricted in our finances. A nice LDS Church meetinghouse was just a short distance down El Molino, and I was organist for Sunday School. There I met again a teacher I had at Mound Fort School, Helen Hinckley Black, who was teaching in the Sunday School. On Christmas Sunday, the speaker at the ward was an Ogden native, Moroni Olsen, who was a movie actor. We met a man at Church, Dr. Dave Bodily, from Syracuse, Utah, who was a dentist, and so I became his patient. He and his wife took us out to dinner once. Forrest heard of a job opening in Bakersfield for a radio broadcaster at KBAK, a leading station. In the spring of 1951, we moved to Bakersfield. The first place we lived in Bakersfield was near the traffic circle. I had to heat a pan of water and boil the water to do baby Bradley's diapers. Forrest's Aunt Hattie Austin Prosser lived in Bakersfield near the airport. This was the first time I had met her. She knew of a cute house for rent at 707 Washington Avenue in Oildale which was furnished with all appliances, a table and chairs, a bed, refrigerator, garage, and a washing machine in the garage. There was a lemon tree in the back yard. I enjoyed our modest home and the sunny weather. It was spring, the most beautiful time of the year in this area. Soon, I would wonder about the worst timethe extreme heat of summer to follow. The first two summers we didn't have a cooling system, and it was with relief when we finally installed an evaporative cooler. Our neighborhood was small and the neighbors friendly. Most of the time Forrest was working at night. I didn't enjoy being alone at night, and so sometimes Brad and I would go to a show at the El Tejon Theater. We walked there as Forrest would take the car to work with him. Hattie was Forrest's mother's Aunt, a sister to Lena's Mother. I never met Lena's mother, but Hattie was a contrast to Lena. Aunt Hattie was a very refined person and reminded me of my mother, Mary. Mother was poor in health at this time and I worried about her. Hattie's husband Grayson, had been in the furniture business for years. They were living very frugally. They were retired and were very elderly. They had us over to the house often, and this helped life to be bearable. Soon after arriving in Bakersfield, the first dance job I had was at the Bakersfield 1st Ward for a "Gold and Green Ball". This was located at East Bakersfield. One of the songs the dance band director asked me to play was the "Spaghetti Rag". He wanted to know how well I could play. The drummer was Dean West. The alto sax man was Robert Bann. Parry Johnson was the band leader and he played tenor sax, too. We played regular orchestrations. As we did not have a trombone, when it was time for the trombone solo, I
