Dad at the studios sitting on a craft services truck

50's - 80's
This is the time when Dad came back from Europe. Around 1957 I believe he met my mother (Kitty) and they were married. He worked many places including Gallo Wine with his father Ray and ultimately with Universal Studios in Transportation. He loved riding and training horses, loved riding his motorcycle, camping, fishing, off roading in his dune buggy. We spent many summers in Bridgeport CA camping and fishing before he and my mother finally purchased property in Walker CA to build "the ranch".
The Ranch was 15 acres on a scenic overlay that viewed the entire valley where 395 crossed into Nevada. They moved there after I had left home. So I never lived there. But I traveled up there frequently. I think it was a very different life than the one we had in the San Fernando Valley where I grew up.
