Uncle Swithin and Elizabeth
Sierra Madre, CA
1968--
The nicest place we ever lived was an annexed apartment of a grand old home on Alegria Ave., owned by the Koyamatsu's. One time Mr. Koyamatus lowered our rent from $80 to $75 a month! They were so fond of my mother, and this was the year she started library grad school.
This was our porch. There was a huge yard with avacado, orange, lemon, persimmon, tangerine and macademia nut trees. I climbed on all of them.This was our baby kitten, who we named 'Swithin" after the character Uncle Swithin on the Forsythe Saga, which was airing on PBS at the time. We were addicted to it.
